[David Derbes]

Hi, Herb.

Works like a charm after copying the font to ~/Library/Fonts. Many thanks! And thanks to you for years and years of help!

To do that you can either copy that font, it's in /usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/qualitype/QTLinostroke.otf, to your personal font folder, ~/Library/Fonts or create a Library in Font Book and install fonts from /usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype or sub-folder thereof.
