Fonts in XeTeX - Old Content (view source)
Revision as of 23:06, 23 April 2007
, 23:06, 23 April 2007a note about broke functionality
Fonts get special treatment in [[XeTeX]]. By supporting a rich, within-TeX means of font specification, one avoids the usual difficulties associated with the TeX font mess: no dealing with map files, encodings, Karl Berry naming schemes, tfms, or virtual fonts. This page describes the various typescripts introduced with <tt>type-xtx</tt>. Common among all these typescripts is the Unicode encoding: <tt>[encoding=uc]</tt>
<font color="red">Note that this functionality has been slightly broken in ConTeXt versions later than 2007.01.xx. See the message '''warning: XeTeX & broken typescripts (please wait with upgrading)''' on the ConTeXt mailing list.</font> XeTeX still works OK if you know how to overcome these problems, but the interface will be synchronized with luaTeX and probably backported to XeTeX, so please be a bit patient untill later this year ...
==Quick start==
