With Adobe Garamond Pro, when I use

- I always get the capital dollar sign.
That's because Hoefler Text doesn't have a lower case $ sign.
I can manually select the lowercase dollar sign in Hoefler Text using
Pages, through "Glyph Variants" in the typography panel.
Then I suspect that Pages must be faking it somehow. (I couldn't
check this with Pages, but with InDesign, no lower case $ shows up
in the Glyphs table.)
Actually, I spoke too soon. It looks like it does have a lower case $
but it's in a weird place, and has no unicode value.
This seems like it could be a problem with the buggy version of
Hoefler Text in Mac OS X, but is there a way to manually select the
lowercase dollar sign glyph as a workaround?
You could also fake it. Something like:
\newcommand{\sdol}{{\addfontfeature{Scale=.75}\$}}
So this could be replaced (just for this font). This is not a general
solution, since the \XeTeXglyph command is completely font dependent.
\newcommand{\sdol}{{\XeTeXglyph 452}}
or (if you've got a lot of \$, but are only using the one font)
\let\olddol\$
\renewcommand{\$}{{\addfontfeature{Scale=.75}\olddol}}
and adjust this accordingly.
