The error was introduced when support for XeTeX was added. It should be fixed in the distributions, but as long as it's not, here's what you can do.

In texmf.cnf fix this line:

TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//

I have no idea how to fix this in MikTeX. Just delete the folder in [MikTeX PATH]/fonts/map/dvipdfm (? - I'm not sure if this is the proper one).

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry

In texmf.cnf fix the value that has been reported as too small

?

There might be two reasons for this error:

• wrong usage
• you don't have the needed font installed

TODO: explain what is needed to install the font - probably a page on its own anyway (See: To-Do List)
