Using XeTeX as my only TeX typesetting engine, I also use only OTF/TTF
fonts. After a faulty copy-and-paste, I found that I had inadvertently
written :
\font \fnf = \font \fb "Gill Sans MT" scaled 400
which led to the unexpected diagnostic :
Usage: mktextfm [--destdir destdir] name
! Font \fnf= not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.
<to be read again>
\font
l.441 \font \fnf = \font
\fb "Gill Sans MT" scaled 400
As I /never/ want XeTeX to attempt to create a seemingly-missing TFM
file, can I configure XeTeX and/or TeXworks to inhibit this undesired
behaviour ? And for that matter, can I configure XeTeX and/or TeXworks
to inhibit any attempt to use TFM-based fonts ?
