LaTeX.org

After I switched to macOS high sierra, my PDF output for the font Times adds an unintended bold whenever I use italics. This does not happen with Times New Roman, but I would like to use Times because the italics is not as slanted.
Using MacTeX 2017, Sublime Text, XeLaTeX.

I'm a newbie, trying to write a thesis in TeXmaker.


I am struggling with biblatex and Biber and have not found a way to produce a formatted footnote. I am using Scrivener for my thesis which can compile a file for TeXmaker.
Also, should footnotes be on format \footonote\autocite ?

Thanks ...
