Using Frutiger Serif with XeLaTeX

A while ago Linotype offered the complete Frutiger Serif for a pretty good price. Here’s an example how to use Frutiger with XeLaTeX. For LuaLaTeX this should work as well, however I haven’t made the switch, yet.

% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
\documentclass[fontsize=12pt,ngerman]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{fontspec,xcolor}
 
\usepackage{xkeyval,polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[spelling=new]{german}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{paralist}
\usepackage[]{blindtext}
 
\setmainfont[ItalicFont={Frutiger Serif LT Pro Italic},%
BoldFont={Frutiger Serif LT Pro Bold},%
BoldItalicFont={Frutiger Serif LT Pro Bold Italic}]{Frutiger Serif LT Pro}
 
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
 
\begin{document}
 
\blindtext
 
{\bfseries \blindtext}
 
{\itshape \blindtext}
 
{\itshape \bfseries \blindtext}
 
\end{document}
