Changing the font based on availability to fontspec
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I would like to distribute a class that uses a professional font loaded via fontspec, and falls back to one of the default fonts in TeX Live if this is not available. I know that one can detect fonts packaged with TeX Live:
documentclassarticle
usepackagefontspec
IfFileExiststgpagella.stysetmainfontTeX Gyre Pagella
begindocument
fontnamefont at thefontdimen6font
enddocument
This doesn't work, however, if one instead tries to detect a font file in the same directory:
documentclassarticle
usepackagefontspec
IfFileExiststexgyrepagella-regular.otfsetmainfontTeX Gyre Pagella
begindocument
fontnamefont at thefontdimen6font
enddocument
Is there a mechanism somewhere to include .otf files in what IfFileExists is able to detect?

fontspec has a fallback mechanism these days older answer but Will added a proper interface to that if I recall correctly

Recent fontspec releases allow you to test for a font being loadable with IfFontExistsTF or its internal expl3 version fontspec_font_if_exist:nTF:
