<p class="MsoNormal">What’s the appropriate way to choose a semibold
version
of a font while in the main document? I assume that \textbf{Blah} goes
for the bold weight of the \setromanfont{} font. Is there an
equivalent
command for semibold? I’m using Times LT Std which has Roman,
Italic, Semibold, SemiboldItalic, Bold, BoldItalic, and even ExtraBold.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A second question: how do I access the
ExtraBold, or any
other specific font weight, without redefining all calls to \textbf{}?<o:p></o:p></p>

Dear Chris:<br>
<br>
Try:<br>
<br>
\newfontfamily\semibf{Times LT Std Semibold}<br>
<br>
\semibf{This text should be semibold.}<br>
<br>
\textbf{But this text is bold.}<br>
<br>
And the same for ExtraBold, just define a new font family, as needed.
See the fontspec documentation, p. 5.<br>
