Howdy,
I just installed the latest i-installer update of XeTeX and was
running through some of the sample files. Here is a file that seems
to unexpectedly put some fonts in gray. It is based on the fontspec-
example.tex file. If I remove the minipage (in blue text) all is well.
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase ,Mapping=tex-text}
\setromanfont[Numbers=Lining,Scale=1.05]{Hoefler Text}
\setsansfont{Gill Sans}
\setmonofont{Verdana}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}\Large\raggedright
\fontspec[%
Colour = 0000CC,
Numbers = OldStyle,
VerticalPosition = Ordinal,
Variant = 2
]{Apple Chancery}
My 1st example of Apple Chancery
\end{minipage}
\vspace{\baselineskip}
The default roman, sans serif, and typewriter fonts may be set with
the \verb|\setromanfont|, \verb|\setsansfont| and \verb|\setmonofont|
commands, respectively. They take the same syntax as the \verb|
\fontspec| package. All expected font shapes are available:
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{quote}
{\scshape Small caps and \itshape small caps italic\dots}\\
{\sffamily\bfseries bold sans serif and \itshape bold italic sans
serif\dots}
\end{quote}
\end{document}
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
