Is there a way to check whether a font is present in a user's system?
I need to generate a document with Myriad Pro if it exists, Arial
otherwise, and if neither, exit with an error.

Thanks
Alan

Some variation of
fc-list "Myriad Pro" > somefile
should get you a file you can run a test on.

Hi, a while ago, Ulrike posted an nice way to allow legacy tipa code
to be used with xelatex. Unfortunately I've encountered a problem: it
doesn't work inside math mode. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
\documentclass{article}

Font Book?
Locate?
Find?
Lsbom?
Ftxinstalledfonts?
Fc-list or fc-match?
Spottlight?

Howdy,
CTAN still has 0.91 released 2008 and that's what is in TL2010 pretest. Is this

And when the 18th output is on (writing to shell), you can put
\immediate\write 18{fc-list "Myriad Pro" > fontcheck.

Is the "\immediate" necessary before the \openin at line 3

they now have a version. By default it looks at the Windows font
directory among others.

Hi,
I am not 100% sure, but "fc-list" and friends might not always list the fonts
