Ah, thank you so much.  I have been using regular LaTeX (from eTeX) for
a little while now, and when I stumbled upon XeTeX/XeLaTeX, I was in
heaven.  This teensy problem was the only one I could not figure out; I
knew there had to be a better way than doing it manually.  This is
definitely something for me to add into my document template’s preamble.

Thanks!
