+<h3>The XeTeX project</h3>
+<p/>XeTeX (by Jonathan Kew) is a successor to the shareware TeX/GX
+program for Macintoshes. It is a Unicode-based (UTF-8) TeX
+implementation which is able to make use of Mac OS X AAT
+(Apple Advanced Typography) <code>.dfonts</code> and OpenType fonts. It
+uses Apple&rsquo;s Quartz system (which facilitates the afore-mentioned font
+access) to generate PDF output. XeTeX supports Unicode
+character sets and bidirectional typesetting, and is widely used by
+people studying linguistics, as well as an increasing range of people
+working in other fields.
+<p/>A Linux and Unix-system version is available in TeX Live 2007; that
+version (of course) relies on OpenType fonts alone. A version is
+planned for MiKTeX version 2.7 (currently planned for December 2007).
+<p/>The project has a <a href="http://scripts.sil.org/xetex">web site</a> for
+the user who wants more than this simple answer, and you can also sign
+up to a <a href="http://www.tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex">mailing list</a>.
