WinEdt ⇒ Winedt 6 XeTeX and Font otf

[gwada74]

Hi,

I am to publish a book, and the editor requires that I use Garamont Pro Font, he provides me the .otf files. I know that with XeTex, there is a possibility to convert the files in tfm.
My questions are :
1- How do I include my .otf file with Winedt ?
2- Do I need to convert the .otf in .tfm ?
3- How Do I configure the font Garamond Pro once installed in Winedt?

Thanks in advance.

With XeTeX you can use all .otf and .ttf fonts which are installed on your system directly, without conversion. The usage is explained in fontspec documentation.

Here's a minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX,Numbers=OldStyle}

\setmainfont{Adobe Garamond Pro}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

Dashes: -, --, ---; -, –, —

Ligatures: fi, ffi, ft, fl, Th

Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

\lipsum[1-2]

\end{document}
