Hi everybody,
I'm pretty sure that some of you are used to making trees. I'm just  
only trying, and I found a few packages here:
<http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/clmt/latex4ling/trees/>.
I'm just dabbling since yesterday, so I tried my hand at parsetree,  
xyling and qtree. It's with the last one I managed to get exactly the  
trees I wanted, and easily at that.

Thing is, it does not work with XeLaTeX.

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper}
\usepackage{qtree}
\begin{document}

\Tree [.{ai mang\'e} J' [ .pomme une jolie ] ]

Only this
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{qtree}
\begin{document}
\Tree [.{ai mang\'e} J' [ .pomme une jolie ] ]
\end{document}

compiles but there are no lines.

What can I do?
Cyril
