How do I use kpfonts with fontspec?

Question

Is there a way to use kpfonts with fontspec ?

The math font is correctly used but just loading the kpfonts package is not enough for the text. If I add the \setmainfont line (see example) the kp font is used everywhere but bold text is not bold. If I add the \fontencoding line (see example) it is used correctly in the text (including bold) but not for the section titles (either regular kp font or bold computer modern font whether the other line is present or not). I don't really know what this line does (saw it somewhere on the internet).

Here is my minimal (non)working example:

\documentclass[article,a4paper,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{kpfonts}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont[ExternalLocation]{jkpmn8a.pfb}

\begin{document}
\fontencoding{T1}\fontfamily{jkp}\selectfont

\section{section}
\section{other section}
\subsection{my subsection}

bla bla bla. \textbf{bold}
$v_t : \mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3 $

\end{document}

Welcome to TeX.SX! You may have a look on our starter guide. — Corentin, May 22 '13 at 18:00
Short answer: Not at all! Should be clear after Herbert's answer. Either Kp-Fonts or other Type1 fonts with fontenc or TrueType/OpenType fonts with fontspec. — Speravir, May 22 '13 at 18:30
Addition: Generally, Truetype fonts could be used with fontenc, but this would need a map file – and this is missing for almost all fonts. — Speravir, May 22 '13 at 18:37

with XeLaTeX use:

\documentclass[article,a4paper,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{kpfonts}

\begin{document}    
\section{section}
\section{other section}
\subsection{my subsection}

bla bla bla. \textbf{bold}
$v_t : \mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3 $

\fontspec{Garamond Premier Pro}
foo bar öäöä

\end{document}

then you'll get the embedded KP fonts:

Well, it works, but then I can't use fontspec at all... – Anne-Laure May 22 '13 at 18:15

why do you need fontspec when you want to use Type 1 fonts?? – May 22 '13 at 18:17
I need to use other fonts in some places – Anne-Laure May 22 '13 at 18:18

Then use an OpenType font for all which makes more sense. Pagella, for example, is similiar to kpfonts and has math, too – May 22 '13 at 18:21

I know I can do that and I'll probably end up doing this if nobody has an answer, but I like kpfonts and if there is a solution I would like to know it. – Anne-Laure May 22 '13 at 18:26

Thank you !! I could have sworn I had tried that but I guess I was loading fontenc before fontspec and it didn't work. – Anne-Laure May 22 '13 at 18:38
