Does this mean the STIX fonts can already be installed and work? Or  
are you a beta tester?

As it happens, I looked just this morning at the STIX web site http://www.stixfonts.org/ 
  and, when seeing the sentence

gave up for now.

BTW, when seeing in the FAQ http://www.stixfonts.org/STIXfaq.html

I wondered whether this mysterious "knowledgeable TeX specialist" is  
Will Robertson of fontspec fame, in connection with his experimental  
package unicode-math.
