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, Open-
Type, 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.
