xelatex math symbols do not work when using fontspec

[Almacha]

Since Ubuntu jaunty RC, when I compile xelatex documents, the math is not printed properly. In the file xelatex_minimal_test.tex I get the "sum" sign not printed when compiling with xelatex under jaunty.

To reproduce:
1. Under jaunty, do: xelatex xelatex_minimal_test.tex
2. Look at PDF file. The text (with the "é" non-ASCII letter) is printed but not the math.

I have package texlive-xetex 2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu2

When doing the same under interpid, I got the sum sign printed.

This is xelatex output when compiling the file:

I can confirm this bug on Jaunty (9.04); it was not present in Hardy (8.04).

There is a fix for this on the debian-bugs-list:
http://<email address hidden>/msg631117.html

I have applied that fix to my system and mathematical symbols are now produced correctly with XeLaTeX.

In brief, edit the configuration file: /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx.cfg
Comment the line "f pdftex.map" by adding a percent symbol at the beginning of the line.
Uncomment the line "f dvipdfm.map" by removing the percent symbol.
Save and run xelatex again.

The fix works. Thanks.

[William Proctor (william-g-proctor)]

I can confirm that the fix by Andrew Whyte works.

[Apteryx (maxco)]

I confirm the fix works too. Thanks!

(Bug is still present in Karmic Koala 9.10 amd64)

[AJRay (ajray-ncsu)]

Confirm (again) for Karmic Koala 9.10, and the fix still works as well. ~thanks
