I start to envy mac users. I was reading through fontspec.pdf and here is a 
(not exhaustive) list of fonts I just don't have: Apple Chancery, Hoefler Text, 
Skia, Didot, Adobe Garamond Pro, Warnock Pro, Zapfino... So most of examples 
there just don't work on a typical Linux box. They are available on mac, 
right? Else it would be a bit wicked to demonstrate them, while most texlive 
users just can't use them.

Perhaps some list of free OpenType fonts which support those fancy and/or 
sophisticated features is out there? Or that kind of fonts is simply not free 
these days?
