Since I use TeX Gyre anyway, that was no problem. (Is there still no complete type-gyr.tex in the distribution? I couldn't find it.) - third threshold (standing there): XeTeX can't read tagged PDFs. For I typeset proceedings, I must include a lot of pages from presentation PDFs. And even if I'd call myself a PDF professional, I didn't find a way to delete all tags from a PDF. I could convert everything to EPS or even render the pages in Photoshop. But I'd prefer to stay with the PDFs. Any ideas? Tomorrow I'll try to use an additional PostScript font - is that even possible? Otherwise I must convert it to OpenType. Greetlings from Lake Constance!
