How long has it been??[XeTeX] Package for font loading
Will Robertson will at guerilla.net.auFri Oct 15 12:04:24 CEST 2004
Hi all
I've got a first release ready of a package for XeLaTeX that allowsdynamic font loading, supporting all of the rich font features in AAT.It doesn't yet support OpenType, but that's coming.
It allows you to use a commands like\typespec[NumberCase=OldStyle, NumberSpacing=Monospaced]{Hoefler Text}
or\typespec[Variant=5]{Zapfino}
to select a very broad selection of fonts.
It's only new, so it will definitely be improved!

5/52Introduction
Evolution
• LATEX was my introduction to software engineering —scarily enough
• fontspec and unicode-math were initially released pre-expl3• expl3 was needed to advance them beyond crudedata-structures and algorithms
• Their programming styles evolved with expl3• Has taken quite some time to become ‘respectable’ !

• fontspec – selecting fonts• unicode-math – learning from my mistakes in bestpractices for TEX software development

CHANGE HISTORY==============
## v0.8m ()
* Restore behaviour of legacy syntax `x_\mathrm{x}` (i.e., with no braces).While strictly ‘incorrectly’, this usage is widely used.
## v0.8l (2018/02/02)
* Issue an error message if `\setmathfont{...}[range=...]` is used first; a `range`declaration inherently implies a subset, so a ‘main’ math font needs to be set up first.
* Fix issue when nesting `\mathXX` and `\symZZ` commands. (#356, #435, #438)* ...

31/52fontspec – selecting fontsFont loading
The case against font names
1. Edge cases• Sometimes the correct italic/bold shape isn’t picked up
2. Document portability• X ETEX/luaotfload differences• Replicating font installation across computers• Differences in software/font versions → different names
3. Speed• Generating the font database is slow• Installing 100s of fonts in a system directory can be slow

Consider Gill Sans Nova. Weights:
• UltraLight• Light• Book• Medium• Semibold
• Bold• Heavy• ExtraBold• UltraBold
Do people want to control these with commands like\textbolder and \textlighter?
