The rendering engine in XeTeX has nothing to do with your operating
system. The rendering library is compiled in XeTeX. PDF readers do not
contain such engines, all substitutions were done during PDF creation.
It does not matter that most Windows applications use Uniscribe and
most Linux applications use Pango. XeTeX relies on its compiled-in
libraries, not on OS services for rendering.
