Hi Alan:


I found those fonts on one of our PCs here ... we have an Adobe font 
(pfb, pfm), which has *both* serif and sans faces. I converted them to 
TTF using FontForge ... and could load using the following:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}

\setmainfont{ITC Officina Serif}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[5]

{\itshape\bfseries \lipsum[5]}


\end{document} 


Depending on your system, you could install them properly in the 
Library/Fonts folder ... or under your home directory ~/Library/Fonts. 
Otherwise, you'd have to specify the path using:
\fontspec[ExternalLocation=/whatever/your/PATH/Fonts/]{OfficinaSerif-Book.ttf}, 
etc. (See fontspec.pdf, page 7).

The first way is easier, it seems to me.



Hope this helps!
