I've tried to compile one of the examples you give over at http://nitens.org/taraborelli/cvtex and I've got this error message : (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/fontenc.sty (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/xelatex/euenc/eu1enc.def) (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/xelatex/euenc/lm/eu1lmr.fd) ! Font EU1/lmr/m/n/10=[lmroman10-regular] at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found. relax l.100 \fontencoding\encodingdefault\selectfont Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Simple thing, but not everyone show the sources or code efficiently (and yours can be improved even more, and I know you know that). *TeX docs on the web are scarce. I believe the classicals are enough ("lshort" and "LaTeX a Primer" from TUG India), and as such 90% of LaTeX docs on the Web are just the same thing repeated over and over again. *TeX is so huge and, like Adrian said, there aren't enough people using it, that if the people on the web concentrates more on doing different things (instead of copying and pasting) like you did, we all will domesticate that TeX lion faster! Better of all: I'm sure it didn't take that much of your time (at least less than some people waste copying and pasting entire tutorials over the Net) to write this.

I'll try to replace this with a better design soon. Palatino or Adobe Garamond are possible companions for Optima, but I wanted to present at least a template that can be compiled with fonts natively installed on Mac OS.

I am no typography expert and the Hoefler Text template was my very first experiment with XeTeX. I'm now using a single typeface (Caslon Pro) for my cv - I uploaded the Hoefler version just because some people asked me to in the past and as a proof of concept of what XeTeX can do with professional fonts. If I ever upgrade these templates I'll try to find a better companion for Optima. Thanks for the feedback Adrian, you are right on the risks of experimenting with serif and sans integration.

Again, an interesting idea, but one that would have purists rioting in the streets. The line thicknesses are all wrong, making the ampersand stand out unduly. It's generally a very bad idea to mix glyphs from different fonts like that. Ah, I just noticed that you are using the Hoefler ampersand in lines that are set in Optima.
