But using \font\x="Aldus LT Std Roman" yourself doesn't find it?  
Grr... that means NSFontManager doesn't recognize it by that name.

Would one of you who has this font mind dumping the complete 'name'  
table using a tool such as TTX or ftxdumperfuser (from Apple's font  
tools package, see <http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/Fonttools/ 
Index.html>), and sending me a copy? (Off-list is fine; no need to  
clutter everyone's mailboxes with it!) I'd be interested to see how  
they've organized the naming, and perhaps get xetex to work more  
smoothly with this and similar fonts.
