[XeTeX] (no subject)

[David Perry]

If you are using XeLaTeX (not plain XeTeX) you use the FontSpec package 
to change fonts and Polyglossia to switch languages.  I wrote an 
introductory tutorial for XeLaTeX a couple of years ago.  It needs some 
updating but nonetheless will get you started; after working through the 
discussion of Fontspec and Polyglossia there, you can use the 
documentation for those packages to answer additional questions.  See 
http://scholarsfonts.net/xetextt.pdf.

Best wishes,
David
