+--------------------------
+THE FONTSPEC PACKAGE v1.8a
+
+The fontspec package only works with XeTeX, a unicode capable TeX-variant for Mac OS X. It provides an automatic and unified interface for loading fonts in LaTeX. XeTeX allows a direct interface to system-installed fonts, so no manual font installation is required.
+
+This package also provides access to the large number of font features available with AAT and OpenType fonts, including upper and lower case numbers, proportional and monospaced numbers, swash letters, vulgar fractions, ligature control, and many others.
+
+It also provides an interface to set the XeTeX font mappings, font colour, and relative font scaling.
+
