Changes

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>[[source:type-otf.tex|type-otf.tex]] (shared with LuaTeX, up-to-date) and [[source:type-xtx.tex|type-xtx</tt>. Common among all these typescripts is the Unicode encoding: <tt>[encoding=uctex]]</tt>(XeTeX specific - might need a revision).

<font color="red">Note that this functionality has been typescripts were slightly broken in ConTeXt versions later than after version 2007.01.xxand before 2007.09.28. Please update. See the message '''warning</font> <b>NB: XeTeX & broken typescripts (please wait with upgrading)''' </b> Major changes that need updates both on the ConTeXt mailing list.wiki and in type-xtx: * <code>encoding=uc</code> is made obsolete: no font encoding specification is needed any mode since only Unicode fontencoding is supported anyway* <code>features=default</code> XeTeX still works OK if you know how to overcome these problemswill set tex-text option, but the interface will note that that file is not present in minimals yet* <code>[name:\typescripttwo\xetexcolon mapping=tex-text][encoding=uc]</code> should be synchronized with luaTeX and probably backported to XeTeX, so please be a bit patient untill later this year replaced by [name:\typescripttwo][features=default]</code>* some others ...
