This would be a neat workaround. However it doesn't compile on my system either. Running "xelatex temp2.tex" (temp2.tex being Apostolos' code, only with Minion Pro replaced with another font as I don't have Minion Pro installed) I get a similar error as before: [...] (./temp2.aux) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf- dist/tex/latex/base/ts1cmr.fd)kpathsea:make_tex: Invalid filename `[Jost-500-Medium.otf]/OT', contains '[' ! Package fontspec Error: The font "Jost-500-Medium" cannot be found. I am likely making some very basic mistake. I would be grateful for any hint. Be that as it may, I am wondering: Should xelatex ideally work with the font name "Jost*" like it does with "Minion Pro" and others? Or should people (and programs like pandoc) who want to produce xelatex- compatible LaTeX code with the Jost* fonts use the syntax proposed by Apostolos? Sorry for taking so long for this reply! I had the seemingly smart idea of setting up a filter for this mailing list right away, so that mails are sorted neatly into a XeTeX folder instead of my inbox. The result was that I forgot about the matter for over a week :(. I'll try to do better! Carlos
