Hello,

I'm trying to use Hoefler Text on OS X 10.6, but xelatex segfaults. Here is a minimal example:

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Helvetica}
\tracingall
\setmainfont{Hoefler Text}
\begin{document}
\null
\end{document}

The Helvetica line is only to show that font selection in general works. The last output lines follow:

\zf at fontname ->Hoefler Text
{\unless}
{\unless\ifx}
{true}
{\font}

\zf at font@wrap #1->#1
#1<-\zf at fontname 

\zf at fontname ->Hoefler Text

\zf at suffix ->/AAT

\f at size ->10
{\edef}
{\fontname}
{\fi}
{\font}

\zf at font@wrap #1->#1
#1<-\zf at fontname /B

\zf at fontname ->Hoefler Text

\zf at suffix ->/AAT

\f at size ->10
Missing character: There is no   in font Hoefler Text Black/AAT!
Segmentation fault


Especially the complain about a missing void (?) is interesting. Here is the output of xelatex --version:
