Since TeX Live 2010 is planning to include 64-bit binaries for Mac OS X,
is there any chance we can fix this for XeTeX? I understand part of ATSUI
does not have 64-bit counterparts, can we at lease be able to disable AAT
support gracefully for 64-bit XeTeX? (aka. only use ATS to locate fonts
and ICU to do the layout.)
