[XeTeX] xdv2pdf vs xdvipdfmx

[Oleg Parashchenko]

Hello,

what is the state of xdv2pdf? Is it ok to use this driver in production
environment, or are there any issues? What xdvipdfmx provides, what
xdv2pdf can not do?

So far, I know that xdv2pdf works only under Mac OS X and can not load
fonts directly from files. The first is ok for me, and the latter can be
fixed. (Starting with 10.5, Mac OS X provides a font-from-file function.
A test code does work under my 10.6.) And what about pdfsync
functionality?

Thanks for any contributions!
