… I … have just fixed the issue… By replacing the Hoefler Text.ttc file in my MacBook Pro with the one in iMac. The one in iMac has the Date Modified more recent than the one in MacBook… The one that works for me is dated 16 Oct 2009. The older one in MacBook is not visible any longer now that I have replaced it; but it was around July 2009 if I recall correctly. This does not seem much different, but has done the trick for me… Unbelievable.

I had exactly the same issue as flow did. It’s very strange that my iMac does not have any issue with Hoefler Text but my MacBook Pro does… (I confirmed this by using Zapfiono in the place of Hoefler Text). Both are on Snow Leopard, both use texlive 2009 via MacTex 2009, both use TextShop, and both work on the same source file….

Alessandro, great article, and comments!

I’m using Snow Leopard, so I have the very same problem…
It’s very hard to find a free alternative to Hoefler Text.
If you only need the regular weight, Calluna is free and beautiful (but other weights aren’t free).
On your Mac, you also have Times, Baskerville, Cochin and Didot.
These are probably poor alternatives, but free fonts are hardly able to do the job.

Can you recommend a similiar font to exchange with Hoefler Text? Which version of OS X do you have? Leopard? Tiger? Are you going to create a cover letter for those CVs too?

Segmentation Fault is caused by the XeLaTeX compilation driver failing to work with .ttc fonts, such as Hoefler Text.
As there is no easy workaround, there’s not much to do other than changing the main font.

The problem is located at line 26.
%\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-tex]{Hoefler Text}

Yes, it’s Snow Leopard. Latest updates. I found a newsgroup discussing the problem. But the workaround doesn’t work.

Snow Leopard?

I am unable to get it to work. TexShop using XeTeX in Tex Live 2008 ends in a segmentation fault!
