[XeTeX] Font nuisances

[David Perry]

This seems to be my day for font problems.

1. What is the correct way to specify a font in exact point size when 
running XeLaTeX?  (This is for the cover page of a book where \Huge 
isn't big enough.)  The LaTeX command \fontsize{60}{66pt} does not work 
-- it comes out much smaller than 60 pts, although there is no 
compilation error.

2. Can anybody see what is wrong with the following?

\fontspec[BoldFont={Bergamo Std},ItalicFont={Bergamo 
Std},BoldItalicFont={Bergamo Std}]{Cardo}

Cardo has no bold, italic, or bold italic versions, so I'm using Bergamo 
for the moment.

I can confirm:
a) all the fonts are installed in Windows font folder and can be used in 
a Word document

b) the log file looks as though the family is being defined correctly 
(see extract below) yet nothing happens in the document when I issue 
\textbf{blah} and so forth.

c) Cardo has TrueType outlines while Bergamo has CFF outlines; could 
this cause a problem?  (I wouldn't think so, but you never know.)

Thanks - David
