[XeTeX] XeLaTeX resolution

Nicolas,

<<Yeah, its for paper printing. My publisher has required from me at 
least 1200 dpi>>

This should only matter if you use bitmapped fonts - TTF and OTF are 
vector fonts, and will print at whichever resolution the print job has 
been set up for (so it's not inherent to the pdf file, it can be printed 
at any resolution the print job says it should be generating data for... 
and your publisher should know this).

If, however, you use bitmap fonts in your book, then you might have a 
problem. You cannot "upscale" bitmap fonts, you're either going to have 
to find TTF/OTF copies of the fonts in question, or find 1200dpi bitmap 
copies of them instead (alternatively, if they're free fonts with a 
license that allowed editing, edit them by hand in fontforge or the like 
to be 1200 dpi)
