Fonts in XeTeX - Old Content (view source)
Revision as of 14:09, 7 November 2007

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 [[source:type-otf.tex|type-otf.tex]] (shared with LuaTeX, up-to-date) and [[source:type-xtx.tex|type-xtx.tex]] (XeTeX specific - might need a revision).
<font color="red">Note that typescripts were slightly broken after version 2007.01.xx and before 2007.09.28. Please update.Also, in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) some fonts apparently don't work with xdvipdfmx. Using xdv2pdf instead of xdvipdfmx is possible with some tweaking.</font>
<b>NB:</b> Major changes that need updates both on wiki and in type-xtx:
