Jon, would you mind sharing these .fd files?

Some of these fonts (Jenson, Myriad, Utopia) include a dozen or more

those anyway) or small caps.
Any of the Pro + Opticals (Chapparal, Cronos, Minion, Jenson, Warnock)
contain about 32 faces and tyipically sell for around $300. A number
of the Standard and Pro fonts (Utopia, Sanvito, Nueva, Myriad,
Moonglow) have a dozen or more fonts and would sell for around $170.
So this is a great deal and a great way to start experimenting with
OpenType fonts.
Since the fonts are OpenType, they work well with XeTeX version .83. I
have tried to set up .fd files for XeTeX for all of the fonts listed
above as well as Adobe Garamond Pro and Adobe Caslon Pro. The Pro
fonts appear to have all of the OpenType features (oldstyle numbers,
discretionary ligatures, stylistic alternates, contextual alternates,
swash, small caps, etc.); however, there are some faces which lack a
few features. Once you have the fonts you can use the otfinfo -f
fontname command available as part of Eddie Kohler's lcdftools to see
what features are supported and can be set in the .fd file.
