I've worked out a little update for the XeTeX page on the LyX Wiki.
(http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX)

After obtaining feedback from prospective users of Chinese or other
languages that require non-roman character sets, I'd like to add this
to the LyX wiki page on Xetex.

In case you don't know, XeTeX offers a program "xelatex" a replacement
for the "pdflatex" program. Xelatex creates a pdf and in the TeX
document one can include all Unicode fonts that are available on the
system that are in the OpenType and true type formats.

I've posted the pdf output from a lyx file that demonstrates several
different font choices.

The title of my document is "Getting Reasonable Chinese Characters in
LATEX Documents". I suppose I should have LyX in the title, but the
first drafts of this were written in Emacs.
