Edited the lineskip section
(as of [[26 November]] [[2004]])
; Font metrics : XeTeX 0.88 is not yet able to retrieve character-specific font metrics from Apple's type API, so measurements based on character-specific units may fail or be unreliable.
; Line spacing Grid typesetting : A side-effect of many fonts on the Mac report larger vertical metrics than their font metrics issue is that sub- or superscripts may create additional space between linessize. A potential workaround has been suggested: Because ConTeXt sets <tt>\lineskiplimit=-2pt: </tt> to zero, grid dimensions are limited by these intrinsic (and seemingly arbitrary) font characteristics.As a result, grid typesetting, with some fonts, won't work below approximately 1.25 times the font size.or thereabouts. Experimentation may be neededHoefler Text seems to work on a 12/12 grid, however.
; Paper size : XeTeX 0.88 is not yet able to support multiple paper sizes. The way <tt>texexec</tt> is arranged locks one in to the default paper size. Support will improve when XeTeX addresses the issue. If you need another paper size, you can re-run <tt>xdv2pdf</tt> with a paper size of your choice from the command line:
xdv2pdf -p a5:landscape file.xdv
