Howdy,
Does the OpenType version of Hoefler Text appear in Font Book? If you are using
\setmainfont using a font name (rather than file name) xelatex (at least on
Mac) will only use fonts that that the system `knows' about. There is a ttf
version of Hoefler Text so that is what will be used. You must let Font Book
`know' about the OpenType version and then make it the active version.
Good Luck,
