By the way, if all you want is to use Hoefler Text as your
standard font, you can accomplish this using
\usepackage[osf]{gtamachoefler}
in your preamble (at least with recent versions of texlive.
Then you can typeset using pdflatex and so use microtype, e.g.
Yes, Hoefler Text is (so far) the only reason for me to use
XeTeX. I tried to put the command in my preamble but got an error:
LaTeX Error: File `gtamachoefler.sty' not found.
Then I installed the latest MacTeX package, reconfigured LyX
but I still get the same error message. What can I do?
If you don't have this gtamachoefler.sty, download it from
somewhere.
Not as a part of the latest MacTex, but as a separate package.
But it *is* a part of the latest MacTeX; it can be found at:
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/gtamacfonts/
gtamachoefler.sty
Well, that's strange, I've got a /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/
tex/latex folder but apart from another "local"-folder (which is
empty) inside it, that folder is empty, too. So not "gtamacfonts"
folder whatsoever. Indeed, Spotlight can't find any folder with
that name either.
Just a stupid question: it does not have to do anything with me
not running an admin user, does it? Nor did I use an
administrators account to install MacTeX...
Doesn't the MacTeX installer require an administrative password to
work? (Otherwise it wouldn't be able to write files to /usr/local.)
If you really installed the latest MacTeX -- available here:
<http://www.tug.org/mactex/>
-- then gtamacfonts are installed.
(Note that Spotlight doesn't index folders that are normally hidden
by the Finder, including everything in /usr. So you shouldn't
expect Spotlight to find it.)
I know. Sometimes, however, it does find hidden folders, this way I
found the texmf-local folder (with exactly that path). Anyway :)
Anyway, I tried to find the package via i-installer (but did not
find it, probably I lack the proper search term. There is a Font
Utilities.pkg but when I launch it, it tells me that it's going to
install MacTeX 2006 (so I aborted it).
Thanks again for your help and your patience :)
Note that i-Installer is now unsupported software, and people are
instead encouraged to use MacTeX. I haven't used i-Installer for
over a year now, but it did include gtamacfonts as a part of its
standard teTeX/gwTeX installation. (Gerben Wierda was behind the
development of gtamacfonts, and the "g" is for Gerben.)
Yes, however, it's still part of MacTeX (and recommended for, say,
uninstall). I thought that I might easily install single packages via
i-installer (eg. the needed gtamac...).
I wonder if you have multiple TeX installations. You can check by
going to System Preferences and clicking on the "TeX Distribution"
icon in the "Other" category. Make sure TeXLive-2007 is selected.
Until a few days ago I had a TeX installation from around two (or
more) years ago (a gwTeX) and a MacTeX from early 2007, in the
systems preferences the TeXlive 2007 was selected. I removed gwTeX,
removed (as much as I could) from the MacTeX and installed the latest
MacTeX; at least I managed to have only one possible TeX distribution
in systems preferences. Well... I think I'll install the latest
MacTeX on my girlfriends iBook (which is absolutely TeX-free so far)
and then I'll see, whether I have to clean up my hidden folders (and
all possible files of earlier distributions) that might cause a
conflict.

You're my man, Bennett :) If you are fed up or bored, don't worry,
I'll simply use XeTeX then. Nevertheless, thank you for your patience
and help,
