[XeTeX] choosing semibold?

[Poile, Christopher]

Thank you Fr. Gilmary, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

 

Now, if I could only find out how to specify an exact point size for a font.  

 

And then figure out how to redefine the section and subsection heading so that it doesn’t add a small amount of vertical space afterwards.  (I’m able to adjust the section heading’s font style using the sectsty package, but I can’t seem to adjust the vertical space after the heading.)

 

Thanks again for the help,

Chris.

Hi Everyone,

 

What’s the appropriate way to choose a semibold version of a font while in the main document?  I assume that \textbf{Blah} goes for the bold weight of the \setromanfont{} font.  Is there an equivalent command for semibold?  I’m using Times LT Std which has Roman, Italic, Semibold, SemiboldItalic, Bold, BoldItalic, and even ExtraBold.

 

A second question: how do I access the ExtraBold, or any other specific font weight, without redefining all calls to \textbf{}?

 



Dear Chris:

Try:

\newfontfamily\semibf{Times LT Std Semibold}

\semibf{This text should be semibold.}

\textbf{But this text is bold.}

And the same for ExtraBold, just define a new font family, as needed. See the fontspec documentation, p. 5.
