SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       XeTeX (xetex) is a TeX engine with native support  for  Unicode,  Open‐
14       Type,  and system-installed fonts, using third-party libraries (such as
15       ICU, HarfBuzz, and Freetype). It was developed by Jonathan Kew for SIL.
16
17       XeTeX includes the e-TeX extensions and many  extensions  from  pdfTeX,
18       sometimes with different primitive names.
19
20       XeTeX is now released as part of TeX Live <https://tug.org/texlive>.

OPTIONS

23       XeTeX's  handling  of  its command-line arguments is similar to that of
24       the other TeX programs in the Web2C implementation.  Here we list  only
25       additions/deletions  of  command line options which are specific to Xe‐
26       TeX; see etex(1) for common options. Additions:

32              Run cmd instead of xdvipdfmx to translate xdv to pdf.
