XeTeX ⇒ How can I produce the same output? (Hoefler example)

[Montag]

Hello,

how can I re-produce the text which can be seen in right picture here?
I have now Hoefler Text Regular (apparently it came with Adobe Reader X) and would like to get this example by myself. It looks great!

(colors aren't important)

I seem to remember that the fontspec manual has some examples with »Hoefler Text«. So this would be my favorite source for information.

Thank you. I gave up. The font selection thing is some sort of a mystic scheme to me. :/

[localghost]

I can't make promises. But I will try to reproduce the desired output. Have to get the font first and install it on my (Linux) system.

Addendum:

I have not been able to spot the font in the AR installation path (used to be in the »Resource\Font« folder). So I'm afraid I can't help any further. As far as I know Hoefler Text comes with a Mac.

Thanks, Thorsten, it was just not this particular example. I successfully got XeTeX to work for a very simple example with Hoefler Text, except I already fail when trying to produce bbold formatated text. I don't really get it ... at all. I fear that you using Linux is nearly useless in the sense of helping a Windows user (me) struggling with the font names and especially its styles. But thank you!
(I'm sure Linux doesn't have the same font organisation like Windows.)


About getting Hoefler Text, I don't know how I got it. About 2 weeks ago I did a complete re-install of my sstem, so I know for sure that it didn't come with software I didn't install, meaning illegally obtained software. Thus it must have been OO3 (doubtful) or Gimp (doubtful) or MikTeX (doubtful) or maybe my printer or scanner driver (wouldn't know why it would come with that software). Or maybe it was installed with a NVIDIA graphics driver? Hm ... kind of excited to find out how I got it now.

Thorsten, I managed to get some properly formatted output via:

Code: Select all

%%%% Quelle (teilweise): http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Print_version


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifxetex}
 
\ifxetex
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text} % To support LaTeX quoting style
\setmainfont[
BoldFont = 24521.ttf,
ItalicFont = 24520.ttf,
BoldItalicFont = 24522.ttf

%\setmainfont{Hoefler Text Regular}
%\setsansfont{Myriad Pro}
%\setmonofont{Consolas}

\else
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\fi

\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum... \textbf{where is all the vegemite}
\end{document}

which is great. Could you please continue work on that example you wanted to start?


EDIT:
To reproduce the example mentioned in the opening post, the TeX code is:
