Hi Herb,

There is only one Optima font on my system: /System/Library/Fonts/Optima.ttc. XeLaTeX handles it well, accented characters, such as á will display OK. slanted displays fine too. There are just these warnings from microtype. Remove \usepackage[protrusion=true]{microtype} and the warnings disappear. The warnings seem to be spurious. The document is typeset OK.

More problematic is the fact that when using  LuaLaTeX, I cant get slanted or bold fonts when I select Optima using fontspec

I’m dropping LuaTeX for now.
