xetex (part of texlive) requires freetype. Leave things as they are. Do you have such a small hard disk that you cant fit X on? TeXLive is massive anyway, so the chances are you have a large disk anyway. I have no plans to make a no_x11 port. Sorry. -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
