Package texlive-xetex

An extended variant of TeX for use with Unicode sources

http://tug.org/texlive/

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/.
