Makes me wonder where it comes from ... as xetex has this latex friendly 
but context unfriendly [] system and favors names over files, we need 
some tricks to check what we're dealing with so we do some tests .. what 
does

\settrue\tracexetexfonts

return? did they change the error recovery code, that is, this

\suppressfontnotfounderror

thing.

Anyhow, I stripped some code from font-ini.mkii, move some to 
font-xtx.mkii and removed de feature default so now you need to 
explicitly add [features=default] to typescript definitions (I did that
in font-otf.mkii from which i also stripped a bunch of lucida type 1 
defs which should not be in there anyway).

I'll upload a beta to the ftp server for you. As texlive is frozen it 
won't help much for tl2010 but here are the files that matter:

font-ini.mkii
font-xtx.mkii
type-ini.mkii
type-otf.mkii (also fixed some antikwa defs)

I really hope that this is the last time i have to look into it.
