Howdy,

If you're using TeXShop 1.41 or 2.03 use

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

instead.

Try

\usepackage{euler} % for maths
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setromanfont[Numbers=Lining,Scale=1.05]{Hoefler Text}
\setsansfont[Scale=1.01]{Gill Sans}
\setmonofont[Scale=0.84]{Verdana}

Hope that works for you.

Good Luck,
