[OS X TeX] latest update of gwtex i-package

[Philipp Mathey]

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your reply.
It seems that indeed the fontspec package caused the problem.
I did manage to get it to work as I want it to using the xdvipdfmx  
driver,
as you suggested, but for other purposes it complains
that it cannot dump a format with preloaded native fonts. I didn't  
get that error message
with the previous version and was I able to compile formats which  
included
font-specifications such as
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text,Scale=0.9]{Courier New}

I downloaded the fontspec package from CTAN, this is version v.1.12
which is what I had, I think. Am I correct to assume that the current  
fontspec
version in the latest gwTeX is v. 1.13 ?
I placed the fontspec folder in ~/Library/texmf/tex/xelatex/
and I also did a sudo texhash but it seems that xelatex still uses
the fontspec package from the gwtex tree, not the one in my home  
directory.
How can I tell TeX to use the v.1.12 fontspec package in my home  
directory ?

Thanks,
PM
