Hi,
a few days back I asked about a problem with optical font sizes: for
me, the correct fonts are not automatically selected. I can rule out
a fontspec bug, since the problem exists also in plain XeTeX:
\font\1="Kepler Std" at 9pt\1
Hallo Welt!
\font\2="Kepler Std" at 12pt\2
Hallo Welt!
\font\3="Kepler Std" at 14pt\3
Hallo Welt!
\font\4="Kepler Std" at 24pt\4
Hallo Welt!
\end
This results in a PDF containing only the KeplerStd-Regular font (no
Capt, Subh or Disp variants). Now I've had the opportunity to test
this using the same OTF files on a Windows 7 computer with an
up-to-date TL2010 installation, and the same happens as on my Mac
(Snow Leopard, same TL2010 revision).
Could it be that the fonts do not contain some needed hints? (I'm
using the version from 2003.) How does font selection work on the
inside?
The font need to have a "size" feature for automatic optical size
selection to work, you can check with otfinfo (part of texlive) if the
font have such feature. If not, then fontspec has options for manually
selecting optical sizes.

Yes, I was aware of the feature, and here is the output of "otfinfo -z"
on my regular ("Text") variant:
design size 11 pt, size range (8.9 pt, 13.9 pt], subfamily ID 4,
subfamily name Regular
I wonder where XeTeX should now take the information to look for a font
named KeplerStd-Capt.otf or "Kepler Std Capt" when I select it at 8pt?
(forget my 9pt in the example above, I've just verified that using 8pt
does not make a difference)
Regards,
Roland
