Nice typeface. "otfinfo -f ..." reveals an intriguing array of possibilities.

Is the new optical size naming convention breaking fontspec/XeTeX optical size selection? I've tried

\setromanfont[OpticalSize=72]{Arno Pro}

and this made no difference.

Simple saying:

\setromanfont{Arno Pro}

seems to select either a small (8pt) font or a semibold -- probably the former.

If I want the 10pt, then I have to ask for that explicitly:

\setromanfont{Arno Pro Regular 10pt}
