I'm sorry to barge in on this discussion, but this XeTeX thing? Are you running Mac OS X to use it, or is there an easy way to get it working on UN*X? I tried finding information on setting it up on UN*X, but it didn't seem there was any.
Sorry to exclude you, but this XeTeX thing is totally a MacOSX thing. It's an evolution of TeX/GX, and uses Apple's advanced typography APIs for font handling. It means *massive* simplification of font installation, special feature use, and Unicode, but at the cost of cross- platform-ness and some backward compatibility (mostly in legacy fonts).
As I feared :-(.
The backward compatibility is improving with each release, but the thing is never going to be cross-platform with respect to Apple's APIs. If you do get your hands on a MacOSX system, I highly recommend giving XeTeX a try! [ http://scripts.sil.org/xetex ]
OK.
