→Where to get XeTeX?
* <b>Linux</b>: you can download the source or binaries from [http://scripts.sil.org/xetex_linux SIL] or use the [http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm Stand-alone distribution from Pragma] ([http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip linuxtex.zip])
* <b>Windows</b>: Not officially released yet, but available on [http://www.fsci.fuk.kindai.ac.jp/kakuto/win32-ptex/web2c75-e.html W32TeX] distribution and can be used with stand-alone distr. See [[Windows Installation#XeTeX Installation|XeTeX Installation]] under Windows for detailed installation instructions.
Note:
An easy way to test OpenType fonts with Context/Xetex from scratch under Windows (XP):
1. Get Texlive 2007
2. Install the Context collection with the Texlive Manager (Xetex is included)
3. Create a little test file:
\enableregime[utf] % don't necessary since it is default regime, but can remind you that you must provide UTF-8 coded text
\definetypeface[myface][ss][Xsans][Arial]
%or any else font in your /windows/fonts folder; run "fc-list >namelist.txt" to get them all
\setupbodyfont[myface, 12pt]
\starttext
Hello World!
Привет!
\stoptext
4. Run "texexec --xtx test.tex"
