<p>XeTeX (by Jonathan Kew) is a successor to the shareware TeX/GX
program. 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
+<code>.dfonts</code> and OpenType fonts. It uses Apple&rsquo;s Quartz system
(which facilitates the afore-mentioned font access) to generate
PDF output.
-<p>XeTeX requires Mac OS {X} 10.3 "Panther" or later (although
-there has been some success using earlier versions). It is
-especially oriented towards multi-lingual typography, taking advantage
-of Apple's keyboard input systems and system font support for various
-languages.
-<p>The system is able to make use of Gerben Wierda's TeX for
-Mac OS X setup, but a minimal set of TeX support files is
-also available, making an attractive proposition for those with
-limited bandwidth who are inclined to use Plain TeX. It can be
-installed using Apple's Installer, or as an i-Installer package.
+<p>A Linux version has been announced (2006); that version of course
+can&rsquo;t use AAT fonts, and relies on OpenType fonts alone.
