Well xetex (xdvipdfmx) complains only if one tries to use type1
fonts directly (instead of using the "old way" with tfm files) --
something that isn't done often. With "constant source" I didn't
want to express that it is a large problem, only that it pops up
regularly over the past years - ditto the warning of dvipdfmx which
seems to be harmless.
The xetex bug has been around for many years:

It would be neat if something could be done about it.
