Dear All, Akira's solution is the right way to go, I had soem trouble with fc-cache not recognizing the path I put in local.conf correctly, but simply pasting the path from windows explorer into local.conf and changing all backslashes to forward slashes (though that isnt necessary I found, but I like consistency) did the trick (even though visual side-by-side comparison revealed no differences at all!) IIRC, there have been some reports of trouble with using opentype fonts through fontspec's external font interface. One might put such fonts in a directory structure somewhere and tell XeTeX of its existence by Akira's mechanism, that might fix such issues as you wouldn't have to use the ExternalFont interface anymore.
