[OS X TeX] Converting a document to be compiled by XeLaTeX

[Johann Spies]

I have a long-standing document built over several years and over 300 pages
where I use several languages inter alia Greek and Hebrew.

Recently I became aware of XeLaTex and decided that it makes switching
languages a bit easier so I decided to try it.

My first effort to compile my old document with XeLaTeX ended with


l.498 \subsubsection{1 Korintiërs 5}


! LaTeX Error: Command \hebfinalmem unavailable in encoding LGR.

Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.502 ``Paul's word (\emph{\textgreek{porneía}}
                                                ) means, if strictly taken,

l.513 ...troundcap{\textsyllabic{w}}} pneúmati})}
                                                   mean? \ldots Paul

The text involved are three paragraphs:


``Paul's word (\emph{\textgreek{porneía}}) means, if strictly taken,
prostitution, or traffic with prostitutes;  In the New Testament
however it is regularly used for unchastity and sexual irregularity of
almost any kind\ldots The practice is forbidden in Lev. xviii.8; xx.11
(cf \emph{Sanhedrin}vii. 4)'' \cite[121]{barrett:1971}.

``Sin can and does invade the church, but this, when it happens, is
something unnatural, which can only be mourned''
\cite[123]{barrett:1971}.

``But what does \emph{present in spirit (\textgreek{par`wn dè
    t{\textroundcap{\textsyllabic{w}}} pneúmati})} mean? \ldots Paul
refers to his thoughts, and his concern for the Corinthian church;
certainly it is true that these operate in the sphere of the Holy
Spirit, but this is not the primary thought''
\cite[123]{barrett:1971}.


My question:  Is it worh while trying to convert this document to be
compiled with XeLaTeX?

If so, are there any good guidelines available?
