I am new to XeTeX, and I could not find a text for beginners.
I have adapted the following preamble from a sample by David Perry:
======================================================
% !TEX TS-program = xelatex
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text,Scale=MatchLowercase}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Frutiger® 55 Roman}
\setsansfont{Frutiger® 55 Roman}
\setmonofont{Frutiger® 55 Roman}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{french}
\setotherlanguage[variant=american]{english}
=======================================================
Let me ask some questions:
1. Is it possible to replace unicode by applemac encoding? What are the
commands in this case?
2. If the main roman font is Frutiger® 55 Roman (Linotype Original names), I
doubt that the system will find out that if the italic, bold and bold italic
counterparts are Frutiger® 56 Italic, Frutiger® 65 Bold, Frutiger® 66 Bold
Italic.
The same font is sold by Adobe under the name Frutiger Std™ Roman, and Adobe
says that other names of the font are:
Postscript File Name: FrutigerLTStd-Roman
MAC Menu Name: Frutiger LT Std 55 Roman
Windows/PC Menu Name: Frutiger LT Std 55 Roman
What puzzles me is that in the XeTeX samples I have found so far, the font name
used is the Menu name (with spaces), and not the compact Poscript File name.
