I am running a recently updated TeX Live 2011 on a Mac (OS X 10.7 Lion). I wanted to use the XITS fonts, but the following file generates errors when processed with xelatex:

setmainfont{XITS}
setmathfont{XITS Math}

Fonts bundled with TeXLive are not usually made available to system, font services and XeTeX can’t locate fonts in TeX tree by font name (LuaTeX based packages does, though). So you need to either install TeX fonts system wide (check TeXLive documentation, though not sure with works for Mac), or access fonts by file name:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{fontspec}
usepackage{unicode-math}

setmainfont{XITS}
[ Extension = .otf,
UprightFont = *-Regular,
BoldFont = *-Bold,
ItalicFont = *-Italic,
BoldItalicFont = *-BoldItalic,
]
setmathfont{XITSMath-Regular}
[ Extension = .otf,
BoldFont = XITSMath-Bold,
]

begin{document}
Text $x+y=sqrt{z}$ boldmath $x+y=sqrt{z}$

    on Linux one can define a local config file .fonts.conf in which additional directories can be defined, e.g. /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/. Such directories will then be searched by fontconfig

    This used to work for me (on MikTeX), but now I see that the file names of the math-versions have changed from xits-math.otf and xits-mathbold.otf to XITSMath-Regular.otf and XITSMath-Bold.otf, both in MikTeX and in CTAN, so the code needs to be updated. (Also the main font now uses a lot of upper case in the file names. This is not a problem on Windows, but I guess it matters on Linux.)

    This used to work for me (on MikTeX), but now I see that the file names of the math-versions have changed from xits-math.otf and xits-mathbold.otf to XITSMath-Regular.otf and XITSMath-Bold.otf, both in MikTeX and in CTAN, so the code needs to be updated. (Also the main font now uses a lot of upper case in the file names. This is not a problem on Windows, but I guess it matters on Linux.)

on Linux one can define a local config file .fonts.conf in which additional directories can be defined, e.g. /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/. Such directories will then be searched by fontconfig

Thanks Khaled, that worked without installing the fonts (and using the document you suggested above). Also, on re-reading your user guide (that comes with XITS) you mention that you need to do this. In the end I installed the fonts by following the procedure here link due to Herbert Schulz.

The "you need to access it by file name" did the trick for me! Many thanks!

@FaheemMitha: that is the way things are done now, “why” is a question to TeX Live developers.
