[XeTeX] Conflict between xunicode and fontspec?

[Arthur Reutenauer]

	Hello,

  You should not use inputenc and fontenc with XeTeX, they simply don't
support XeTeX at all.  The output you get indicates incompatibility
between inputenc + fontenc and xunicode + fontspec, rather than a
conflict between the latter two (it might be that changing the order of
the packages improves things, but that's really not a robust solution).

  If you really need to use the latin-1 encoding, you should use the
\XeTeXinputencoding command (\XeTeXinputencoding ISO-8859-1), but I
encourage you to use UTF-8, if possible (this is the default encoding
XeTeX expects).

  In addition, you could try and give up Babel altogether and use
François Charette's polyglossia instead, which is a XeTeX-aware
replacement for Babel.

  There may be other issues left like indexes, etc., but in any case the
solution is certainly not to stick to inputenc and fontenc.  You should
fix that first.
