I think you should present a default preamble like that one Bruno
proposed yesterday, plus a reminder for other faces:
\usepackage{fontspec} % for AAT/OT fonts
\usepackage{xunicode} % for Unicode accents
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Hoefler Text} % standard regular
serifs
\setsansfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Arial} % without serifs, rich, with
variants
\setmonofont[Mapping=tex-text]{Courier} % typewriter

Actually it was Calvin W. Jackson, Jr. on August 4th who asked whether
there is XeLaTeX support possible in LaTeXiT ... (and I am only Pete)
In Preferences -> Composition:
when xelatex is checked you should grey-out pdfLaTeX (since xeLaTeX
is greyed-out when in pdfLaTeX)
when in latex+dvipdf you should grey-out pdfLaTeX
xeLaTeX is probably more correctly spelled as 'XɘLaTeX' (ɘ is
U+0258), look at the logo at
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=XeTeX&
I am missing a chooser to choose any of the three possible ways to
render the given input ... or at least the information which method
will be used.
The version 1.4.1 produces in /tmp/<uid>/TemporaryItems 2 TeX files ...
TeX file #2 contains the sizes code and is processed always by
pdfLaTeX. So these errors come up:
(/Users/pete/Library/texmf/tex/xetex/xunicode.sty
/Users/pete/Library/texmf/tex/xetex/xunicode.sty:17: LaTeX Error: ***
this pack
age currently works only with XeTeX ***
You are not using XeTeX, so we are exiting cleanly!
Continuing may lead to 'unavailable font metrics' errors!
.

(/Users/pete/Library/texmf/tex/xetex/fontspec.sty
/Users/pete/Library/texmf/tex/xetex/fontspec.sty:23: LaTeX Error:
*************************************************
*** Sorry!
*** The fontspec package only works with XeTeX.
*************************************************.
TeX file #1 says:
\pagestyle{empty} \begin{document}$\color[rgb]{0.000,0.000,0.000}
Shouldn't the ``$´´ come after the colour definition?
Tonight some more ...
