[XeTeX] Font "avenir" in TeX

[Wilfred van Rooijen]

Well, I've figured more or less that the problem is linked to the fact that a font may have more than one name :-)). In the case of Avenir, there are three names. If I type the 'name for humans' into fontspec, it works fine. This 'name for humans' is unfortunately not the name reported by fc-list by default. I'll use Peter's command line in the future to get more info from fc-list.

Cheers,
Wilfred
