xetex – An extended variant of TeX for use with Unicode sources
XeTeX is a TeX typesetting engine using Unicode and supporting
modern font technologies such as OpenType, TrueType or Apple
Advanced Typography (AAT), including OpenType mathematics fonts.
XeTeX supports many extensions that reflect its origins in
linguistic research; it also supports micro-typography (as
available in pdfTeX). XeTeX was developed by the
SIL (the first
version was specifically developed for those studying linguistics,
and using Macintosh computers).
XeTeX’s immediate output is an extended variant of DVI format,
which is ordinarily processed by a tightly bound processor (called
xdvipdfmx), that produces PDF.
XeTeX is released as part of TeX Live; documentation has arisen
separately. Source code is available from
ctan:/systems/texlive/Source/.
