I do not get this bug when doing a compile on windows server 2008, 32 bit version. windows: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002] xelatex: This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.1 (MiKTeX 2.8) Possibly very silly question: did you try this after making sure no fonts were cached anywhere? =) - Mike "Pomax" Kamermans nihongoresources.com
