[XeTeX] fontspec and kpfonts

[Will Robertson]

Hi Ulrike,

Thanks for clearing up these points. To be honest, I basically never  
mix fontspec-loaded fonts with other fonts of other encodings so I'm  
glad you're around to give good advice. If there's any changes I can  
make to fontspec to make things like this easier please let me know.

Careful with this...it will generally work if you're not trying to use  
any fontspec font-options (not that you would for a .pfb font anyway)  
but as soon as you try something like
   \fontspec[Numbers=OldStyle]{[xyz.otf]}
you'll run into problems.

I'm thinking of adding some parsing code to fontspec so that the above  
is equivalent to
   \fontspec[ExternalLocation,Numbers=OldStyle]{xyz.otf}
(or, even easier, recognising the .otf suffix in the font name and  
implicitly applying ExternalLocation) but for now it's best to stick  
to the explicit syntax shown here.

Many thanks,
Will
