[XeTeX] beginners trouble

[=?GB2312?Q?Pavel_Stra=A8=BE=A8=A2k?=]

Hello,
I don't see any problem with fontspec. The sample below works fine for 
me (with any font that includes cyrilic).
Calling "\usepackage{ngerman}" would not work and I doubt it can. It 
seems to expect the tex way of handling fonts.
Does it do something more than the babel option below?

Regards, Pavel
