As a very infrequent Mac user, I am only familiar with the Mac&TeX; I 
installed in January 2017 (at least, that's the timestamp on the 
directories, which sounds about right). It periodically updates TeXShop 
for me, but the TL is in texlive/2016.

If I do this with XeLaTeX:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{AccanthisADFStdNo2}
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}

I get Accanthis, so the distribution fonts work out of the box. However, 
none of the system fonts are accessible this way.

The system utility "system_profiler" can report extensively on all 
installed system fonts by using the argument "SPFontsDataType" but this 
is presumably not used by XeLaTeX. Mac system fonts appear to be in 
/Library/Fonts and /System/Library/Fonts

Does anyone know the incantation required to get Mac system fonts 
visible to XeLaTeX?
