NAME

xetex - extended TeX with native support for Unicode, OpenType, system fonts

SYNOPSIS

xetex [ options ] [ & format ] [ file | \ commands ]

DESCRIPTION

XeTeX ( xetex ) is a TeX engine with native support for Unicode, OpenType, and system-installed fonts, using third-party libraries (such as ICU, HarfBuzz, and Freetype). It was developed by Jonathan Kew for SIL.

XeTeX includes the e-TeX extensions and many extensions from pdfTeX, sometimes with different primitive names.

XeTeX is now released as part of TeX Live <https://tug.org/texlive>.

OPTIONS

XeTeX’s handling of its command-line arguments is similar to that of the other TeX programs in the Web2C implementation. Here we list only additions/deletions of command line options which are specific to XeTeX; see etex(1) for common options. Additions:
-no-pdf

Generate XeTeX’s extended DVI (.xdv) output instead of pdf.

-output-driver cmd

Run cmd instead of xdvipdfmx to translate xdv to pdf.

-papersize string

Set pdf media size to string .

Removals: -draftmode , -enc , -ipc , -ipc-start , -translate-file .
