[OS X TeX] Curious xelatex font problem

Sat Sep 6 17:30:35 EDT 2008

Well, this turns out to be a lot weirder than I even could imagine. The 
problem seems to be a weird combination of iTerm and macosx's screen. If I use 
macports screen version i'm immediately out of trouble. But somehow that can't 
be derived from the environment variables... "which xelatex" gives me the 
exact same result /usr/texbin//xelatex. kpsewhich doesn't seem to work, it 
exits with 1 as exit code.

The problem seems to be macosx's screen version. I've included the env output   
in both screens. The only noticable difference seems to be in the termcap 
variables. Can that be the problem?

Obviously my problem is solved but I'm still curious as to why. Anybody ideas?

Kind regards,

Reinaert
