In [http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
support/browse_thread/thread/bbb437ab04ff64d this sage-support thread],
there is a request for something like this to work in the notebook:
{{{
%xelatex
실수 $x$에 대해서 다음이 성립한다.
\[
\sqrt{x^2}=|x|
\]
}}}
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX XeTeX] is an extension of TeX that
makes working with arbitrary fonts very easy. In practice, this means that
users of non-European languages can simply set a font that supports their
writing system, type their document, and everything just works.
Adding support for this would be useful to anyone who uses both Sage and
non-European languages.
Note that it will be necessary for most users to use a function
corresponding to {{{latex.add_to_preamble()}}}, since XeTeX by default
uses the Computer Modern fonts and for non-trivial uses, one needs to tell
XeTeX what font to use. Also, XeTeX produces PDFs by default, so it will
be necessary to use something other than {{{dvipng}}} to get something
that we can display in the notebook.
