bug#6357: acknowledged by developer (close 6357)

[Peter Dyballa <Peter_Dyballa@Freenet.DE>]

Sorry! I was too fast!

Actually it's not the Safari update and reboot, but the font I used!  
Or the fonts management system in Mac OS X – see below!

Since I can't really work with NS Emacs.app because copy&paste does  
not work at all, I decided to try to find all available mono-spaced  
fonts and see how they look (the look is independent from whether I  
can read or not). For this I did not try the "original" font again,  
but a new one as first test instance. Since I then walked through all  
the fonts I came again to

	-apple-Latin_Modern_Mono_Light-medium-normal-normal-*-9-*-*-*-m-0- 
iso10646-1

(It has an accompanying condensed variant in another font family, - 
apple-Latin_Modern_Mono_Light_Cond-medium-normal-condensed-*-9-*-*-*- 
m-0-iso10646-1, which works well – besides the fact that it's not  
useful as an Emacs font. Its regular variant -apple-Latin_Modern_Mono- 
medium-normal-normal-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1, again in a different  
font family, works well as well, despite the fact that Font Book marks  
faultily one member as a duplicate.) Linotype FontExplorer X (version  
1.2.3) and Apple's Font Book (version 2.1) characterise this "faulty"  
font as:

	PostScript name	LMMonoLt10-Regular
	Full name	LMMonoLt10-Regular
	Family		Latin Modern Mono Light
	Style		10 Regular
	Kind		OpenType PostScript
	Language	Albanian, Basque, Catalan, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish,  
Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French,  
Galician, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian,  
Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Maltese, Manx, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian  
Nynorsk, Oromo, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian,  
Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Welsh
	Version	Version 2.004;PS 2.004;hotconv 1.0.49;makeotf.lib2.0.14853
	Location	/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/

Apple's Font Book annotates *faultily* the Oblique variant as being a  
duplicate. This circumstance does cause errors in XeTeX typesetting,  
one stage using font properties from one member, the other stage using  
font properties from another member. Cleaning the dirty font caches  
involves a reboot following. I'd like to wait for this action a few  
weeks, until the end of month or arrival of a new security update...
