Not at once and not without further details.
XeTeX asks the fonts service of your operating system for fonts. It's possible
that the font variants have slightly different names. Then the fonts service
might fail to create a family. And similarly XeTeX fails. In that case you
would have to declare:
\setromanfont[UprightFont = *,
BoldFont = *-Demi,
ItalicFont = *-Italic,
BoldItalicFont = *-DemiItalic,
]{Argor Man Scaqh}
In this basic example a possible "fullname" (Argor Man Scaqh) is used (I don't
understand the language which sets this name, could be it already names some
font variant), then four variants are specified (UprightFont, BoldFont,
ItalicFont, BoldItalicFont) with font names each starting with "Argor Man
Scaqh" (that's what the asterisk stands for) and then followed by either
nothing (but it could also be -Regular or -Book or ...) or one of -Demi,
-Italic, or -DemiItalic. Each of these font name "extensions" might be wrong,
so that XeTeX cannot find the corresponding font, neither in this example and
neither when you use a simple \setromanfont{Argor Man Scaqh}.
So you need to find out how the fonts are really named. This can be done with
this command:
fc-list : file fullname | egrep -i 'Argor|Man|Scaqh'
(Again an assumption, that any of the three words will reappear in names of the
font variants.) If you get too many and disturbing lines, then filter a bit:
fc-list : file fullname | egrep -i 'Argor|Man|Scaqh' | egrep -i
'(o|t)tf'
If you are not interested in the names of the files in which the fonts are
stored you can invoke:
fc-list : fullname | egrep -i 'Argor|Man|Scaqh'
Or:
fc-list : | egrep -i 'Argor|Man|Scaqh'
Actually this command is maybe the most useful, because it tells you the
(PostScript) name of the font. And actually this name, without spaces, has to
be used in my example above.
First step is to know what your system can offer. Second step is to set up your
font declaration accordingly. Third step is to use and enjoy the result...
BTW, \setmainfont{} and \setromanfont{} are the same, one of them is enough,
possibly the latter one which resembles more the average LaTeX use.
