\section{The \cs{font} command}
-The |\font| command has seen significant addition in \XeTeX\ to facilitate rich font feature selection. Under \TeX, fonts were selected like so: |\font\1="|\xarg{font name}|"| with various options appended such as `|at 10pt|' or `|scaled 1.2|', with obvious meaning. This syntax has been extended in \XeTeX\ by passing additions options through the \xarg{font name}.
+The |\font| command has seen significant addition in \XeTeX\ to facilitate extended font feature selection. Under \TeX, fonts were selected like so: |\font\1="|\xarg{tfm name}|"| with various options appended such as `|at 10pt|' or `|scaled 1.2|', with obvious meaning. This syntax still works, but it has been greatly extended in \XeTeX.
+
+The extended syntax looks something like\par
+{\centering|\font\1="|\xarg{font identifier}\xarg{font options}|:|\xarg{font features}|"| \xarg{\TeX\ font features}\par}\noindent
+The \xarg{font identifier} is the only mandatory part of the above syntax. It is either a declared name of a font (e.g., `|Latin Modern Roman|') or a font file name in square brackets (e.g., |[lmroman10-regular]|).
-This syntax looks something like\par
-{\centering|\font\1="|\xarg{font name}\xarg{font options}|:|\xarg{font features}|"| \xarg{\TeX\ font features}\par}\noindent
-The \xarg{font name} is the actual name of the font (e.g., `|Charis SIL|') and the only mandatory part of the above syntax.
+When using a font name, the font is looked up through the operating system, using (except on Mac~OS~X) the |fontconfig| library. Running |fc-list| should show you the font names available. \Eg,
+|\font\1="Liberation Serif"| \hfill \emph{look for OS-installed font}
-When using the |xdvipdfmx| driver (which is the default), it is possible to use fonts

+When using a file name, the |xdvipdfmx| driver must be used (this is the default), and the file name must be surrounded with square brackets. The current directory and the |texmf| trees are searched for files matching the name, or the path may be embedded in the

\begin{quote}\small
-|\font\1="[fp9r8a]"| \hfill \emph{Selects `FPL Neu' in the current directory}
-|\font\1="[/myfonts/fp9r8a]"| \hfill \emph{Selects `FPL Neu' somewhere else}

+|\font\2="[lmroman10-regular]"| \hfill {\em find |lmroman10-regular.otf| in any tree}
+|\font\3="[/myfonts/fp9r8a]"| \hfill {\em look for |fp9r8a| only in |/myfonts/|}
\end{quote}
+A file with either an |.otf| or |.ttf| extension will be found. The extension can also be specified explicitly.
+
+(Aside: if you load |luaotfload.sty|, you can use this same syntax in Lua\TeX, which doesn't provide \TeX-layer syntax by default. The |luaotfload| package works in plain \TeX\ and \LaTeX.)

OpenType font features are chosen with \hlink{http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/featuretags.htm}{standard tags}. They may be either comma- or semicolon-separated, and prepended with a |+| to turn them on and a |-| to turn them off.
