[XeTeX] The status of XeTeX

[Karljürgen Feuerherm]

I think that historically what you say about print is true... but I produce many many PDFs (syllabi, documentation, slide presentations) and for all intents and purposes non of them go to print anymore; simpler and cheaper to view on screen.

Still interested in the answer though!

I ask because, once again, I came up against a fundamental limitation of XeTeX yesterday — the fact that a font can be defined to be of a specific colour, but the colour model is restricted to RGB.  Given that (IMHO), the vast majority of XeTeX output is intended for print rather than for on-screen display, would it be possible to add support for additional colour models (and specifically for CMYK) in a future instantiation of the \font primitive ?
