Grazie!
In effetti avevo nella testa la malsana idea che XeTeX dovesse per forza usare
font di tipo OpenType o simili.Quindi questo significa che, volendo, posso continuare a cambiare font
alla “vecchia” maniera, semplicemente caricando gli opportuni pacchetti.
Molto bene.Ciao ciao.

David Walden: Of course, other readers and I could look at your XeTeX web site, but perhaps you can also tell us something about it here. For starters, how should I pronounce XeTeX — like Zee TeX? And why did you call it that?
Jonathan Kew: I don’t have a strong opinion on the “correct” pronunciation, though personally I say zee-TeX. There was some discussion of this on the mailing list recently, and it was clear that the “natural” pronunciation depends on people’s native language — which is fine with me.
The name was chosen to imply an eXtended version of eTeX, along with an association with MacOSX (which was initially the only target platform). As one of the intended uses was for typesetting right-to-left scripts, a palindromic name seemed like fun; and the properly-typeset version is supposed to use the Unicode character U+018A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER REVERSED E for the first lowered “E”, hinting at support of much more than the basic Western character set.
