<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thank you Fr. Gilmary, that’s
exactly what I was looking for.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Now, if I could only find out
how to specify an exact point size for a font. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>And then figure out how to redefine
the section and subsection heading so that it doesn’t add a small amount of
vertical space afterwards. (I’m able to adjust the section heading’s font
style using the sectsty package, but I can’t seem to adjust the vertical space
after the heading.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<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>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><br>
<br>
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>
