[XeTeX] Problem with Tamil font (InaiMathi) on OS X 10.5

[Lammert, Richard A.]

I have been working with the Apple-supplied Tamil font, InaiMathi, on Mac OS X 10.4 with no problem. As I move to Mac OS X 10.5, typesetting stops when the InaiMathi font is encountered.

Specs: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac (Fall 2007)
XeTeX 0.996 (installed with TeX Live 2007)
Default installation except for substituting fontspec v. 1.14 for version 1.13 installed by Tex Live.

On MacOS X 10.4.11, the version of InaiMathi is 5.0d3
On MacOS X 10.5.2, the version of InaiMathi is 6.0d2e4

The following sample produces the expected PDF output on 10.4, but stops with the error shown in the console output when run on 10.5:

***** XeLaTeX code *****

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass[twoside]{book}

\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}

\newfontfamily\mytaml{InaiMathi}
\newcommand{\taml}{\mytaml\fontsize{20}{24pt}\selectfont}

\setmainfont{Hoefler Text}

\begin{document}

\taml{மனித உரிமைகள் பற்றிய உலகப் பிரகடனம்}

\end{document}

***** end of XeLaTeX code ****

Here is the console output:

***** end of console output

InaiMathi works with no problem with other programs (Text Wrangler, Text Edit, Mellel), and the font shows up as installed in Font Book, so this appears to be a XeTeX or fontspec problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
