How is this done?
When I put in a full path, as in
\newfontfamily\venturisregularfont{/Users/rossmoor/Library/Fonts/
arkandis/venturis/VenturisADF-Regular.otf}
then there are NFSS errors, perhaps leading to a recursion.
But there is another issue.

Look at the circumflex accents over the Y and W in the attached image.

These LaTeX-composed accented characters use U+002C6
It works fine over the lowercase w and y, but is different
to the shape of the circumflex over A,E,I,O,U .
It seems that Hoefler Text has a couple of variant glyphs.
But how to access them in XeTeX?

Being able to access the variant probably fixes this.
Any help on this welcome,
