Hi, I'm a bit confused. Still can't have a clear frame of -TeX stuff. What does this exactly mean (from wikipedia)? XeTeX works well with both LaTeX and ConTeXt. Many thanks Best -a- On 5 Apr 2007, at 12:18, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Hello,
I heard that Mac users can typeset in ConTeXt with OpenType fonts. Is it possible on Windows platform? (either in MiKTeX or TeXLive?)
The easiest way to use OpenType fonts is to use XeTeX (luaTeX will support them as well, but you would need to wait a bit before it comes out). You can also use pdfTeX, but it's a bit painful to set up everything properly.
TeXLive 2007 includes XeTeX, MikTeX will include it in version 2.7 (currently it's still at version 2.5 and 2.6 beta), so TeXLive (or standalone ConTeXt with some additional settings) is currently the best choice.
See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_XeTeX (but please note that some high-level interface is currently broken if you install the latest ConTeXt; the version from TeXLive should be OK).
You can use any font in the texmf tree or any font installed on the system. You might need to run fc-cache (and perhaps edit font.conf).
