Chapter title formatting

Hi,

Thanks.

I am using XeLaTeX with the following

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Calibri}


Specifically calibri because that is how all my charts and graphs are formatted.


So

Code: Select all

\usepackage{lmodern}
messes up the font.

Are there any specific benefits?

    {\filleft\bfseries\fontsize{32}{32}\selectfont\color{blue}}
    {\fontsize{55}{55}\selectfont\thechapter}{-10pt}{\sc}
    []
