I have a problem using my own OTF fonts within a LaTeX document. I read I should compile the document with xelatex which I have installed on my Mac with MacPorts (package texlive-xetex)
My minimal document looks like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Arial}
\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum
\end{document}
Compiling it via xelatex test.tex I get the following errors:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-0.9998 (TeX Live 2012/MacPorts 2012_5)
restricted \write18 enabled.

What am I doing wrong? I also tried to specify the whole path to my font with \setmainfont[Path=/Absolute/Path/To/My/OTF/Font/]{file.otf} in the preamble.
Although I would prefer using pdftex instead of xelatex because I read that xelatex comes with some disadvantages and I do not want to install it on every computer I use it. Is there a good solution for using OTF fonts with pdftex?
