This seems to be my day for font problems.
1. What is the correct way to specify a font in exact point size when
running XeLaTeX? (This is for the cover page of a book where \Huge
isn't big enough.) The LaTeX command \fontsize{60}{66pt} does not work
-- it comes out much smaller than 60 pts, although there is no
compilation error.
2. Can anybody see what is wrong with the following?
\fontspec[BoldFont={Bergamo Std},ItalicFont={Bergamo
Std},BoldItalicFont={Bergamo Std}]{Cardo}
Cardo has no bold, italic, or bold italic versions, so I'm using Bergamo
for the moment.
I can confirm:
a) all the fonts are installed in Windows font folder and can be used in
a Word document
b) the log file looks as though the family is being defined correctly
(see extract below) yet nothing happens in the document when I issue
\textbf{blah} and so forth.
c) Cardo has TrueType outlines while Bergamo has CFF outlines; could
this cause a problem? (I wouldn't think so, but you never know.)
Thanks - David
