(Cross-post to XɘTeX & Τεχ Live lists; not sure where the problem lies.

This document works with XɘLatex under Tex Live 2008:

% !TEX TS-program = xelatex
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec, xunicode, xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Numbers={OldStyle,Proportional}]{Constantia}

\begin{document}
Some random text.
\end{document}

Under TL ’09, I get this error:

(c:/Users/chesky/Programs/TeXLive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/fixltx2e.sty))
name = Constantia, rootname = Constantia, pointsize =
mktexmf: empty or non-existent rootfile!

kpathsea: Running mktexmf Constantia.mf
Cannot find Constantia.mf.
