I have noticed discussions on this before and I fail to understand the need for all the setup mentioned in the above Worg entry. I use XeLaTeX almost exclusively, and all I have is something like this: ;;; XeLaTeX customisations ;; remove "inputenc" from default packages as it clashes with xelatex (setf org-latex-default-packages-alist (remove '("AUTO" "inputenc" t) org-latex-default-packages-alist)) (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "xltxtra" t)) ;; choose Linux Libertine O as serif and Linux Biolinum O as sans-serif fonts (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "libertineotf" t)) ;; org to latex customisations, -shell-escape needed for minted (setq org-export-dispatch-use-expert-ui t ; non-intrusive export dispatch org-latex-pdf-process ; for regular export '("xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")) For beamer export I add this line: #+LaTeX_HEADER: \setsansfont{Linux Biolinum O} So far I have not encountered any problems. Although I have to say, I do not use unicode in mathmode. I am curious to know why others need all this elaborate setup to use XeLaTeX. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
