XeTeX and lmtypewriter10-regular

XeTeX and lmtypewriter10-regular

[Bart C. Wise]

I'm running TeXLive 2008.
When I compile for XeTeX (texexec --xtx) I get the following output that 
appears to be generating the lmtypewriter10-regular font.  The bad part is 
that this is very slow.  The part that's even worse, it does this probably 
20...30...40 times?  A compilation takes 145 seconds, and about 130+ seconds 
of time seem to be dealing with lmtypewriter10-regular.

This doesn't happen on small test files, so I know I'm doing something wrong.  
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bart

The file name is : lmmono10-regular
The font name is : LMTypewriter10-Regular

You can do (in context):

\definefontsynonym [MyMono] [file:lmmono10-regular]
\definefontsynonym [MyMono] [name:LMTypewriter10-Regular]

(i'm not sure if xetex is case sensitive)

All th emessages that you see on the console concern xetex calling 
metafont to generate a font which does not exist (a kind of fallback 
behaviour)
