Ah, thank you so much. I have been using regular LaTeX (from eTeX) for
a little while now, and when I stumbled upon XeTeX/XeLaTeX, I was in
heaven. This teensy problem was the only one I could not figure out; I
knew there had to be a better way than doing it manually. This is
definitely something for me to add into my document template’s preamble.
Thanks!
