Thanks John and Lars for the help provided. Hoefler text is now working with switchable hanging and lining figures, ligatures and swashes.
However I'm not shure wether it is a good idea to use the expert superscript figures for endnotes. What do you think?

You might also want to compare with the number > of overfull boxes for Times; as I recall it, Computer Modern and > derivatives have wider spaces than postscript fonts tend to have. This is now the biggest problem. See http://www.robinschwab.ch/60.pdf for a sample page. I get an average of 0.77 box errors per page in latin modern, 0.80 with times but 1.55 with Hoefler text. What's the reason? Using microtype helps a lot but I still get ~150 box errors. I guess if I have Hoefler text at the level of latin modern and then use microtype I will have close to zero hbox errors. This is my fontimen section: (FONTDIMEN (PARAMETER D 1 R 0.000) (PARAMETER D 2 R 0.215) (PARAMETER D 3 R 0.129) (PARAMETER D 4 R 0.052) (PARAMETER D 5 R 0.425) (PARAMETER D 6 R 1.000) (PARAMETER D 7 R 0.052) (PARAMETER D 8 R 0.688) (PARAMETER D 9 R 0.721) (PARAMETER D 10 R 0.887) (PARAMETER D 11 R 0.265) (PARAMETER D 12 R 0.925) (PARAMETER D 13 R 0.318) (PARAMETER D 14 R 0.526) (PARAMETER D 16 R 1.200) ) > Another reason could be that hyphenation is turned off for this font > (\hyphenchar set to -1), but I can't see why that would happen. ACK, it's on. Another thing: John talked about including kernings. How do I see which kernings are missing? I can't check every letter combination nor do I have the experience to tell which amount of kerning is good. Any help appreciated.
