I intend to shove this into trunk on Monday unless I get objections.
Wow -- a very nice feature! Of course, now that you've whetted my
appetite, I want more.
The standard TeX distributions on Mac now include support for various
standard Mac fonts, such as Baskerville, Didot, Georgia, Hoefler,
Gill Sans, Futura, Lucida Grande, Optima, Verdana, and American
Typewriter, some of which include true small caps and old style
numbers. Including support for these (at least on Mac) would be great.
The catch is, these fonts are .ttf and so apparently work only with
pdfTeX.
Given this limitation, would adding support for this be desirable?
(If so, I can provide implementation details....)
