XeTeX ⇒ Fontspec 2.1 and Hoefler Text

[alextsteinberg]

Hi all,

I have a problem with using Hoefler Text and the newly updated fontspec.

Before the update it was possible to avoid fancy swirls at the beginning and end of italicised words by specifying something like the following:

Code: Select all

1
\setmainfont[ItalicFeatures={Contextuals={NoLineFinal,NoLineInitial}}]{Hoefler Text}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

However, since the update, the following minimal code:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

1

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Contextuals=NoLineFinal]{Hoefler Text Italic}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

Run LaTeX here

produces this error message: ! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \intexpr_if_even:nTF

and the document does not compile.

Is there another way of turning off the swirls at the beginning and end of words in Italic Hoefler Text, or, alternatively, an easy way of reverting to the working fontspec version?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,

Alex.

That's the problem with commercial fonts. It is hard to find somebody who also has them thus can comprehend this issue. Or a Mac user who knows how to solve it.

As soon as the problem is sorted out, please act exactly according to Section 3 of the Board Rules.


Best regards and welcome to the board
