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’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>. +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=xetex">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=xetex</a> +</body> |
