Just tried the texi2dvi command that is nice, one problem though, it only makes use of pdflatex.
In certain situations, I like to use latex+ps2pdf (some journals ask for .eps image file) or xelatex when mixing several fonts and writing in UTF-8 is mandatory, for example French + Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, etc. Currently I used the function below that I hook to the org-export-latex process. AFAIK, providing one use few packages, a .tex file to be used with pdflatex can be similar to one to be used with xelatex. The content of the document (UTF-8 characters) will make the difference. To circumvent this problem, considering pdflatex as the default option, I add to the org file a: "#+LATEX_CMD: xelatex" or "#+LATEX_CMD: latex" Note: bibtex and glossaries compilation are detected by their call, e.g. \bibliography How about introducing a "#+LATEX_CMD:" option in org-mode?
