If you are using XeLaTeX (not plain XeTeX) you use the FontSpec package
to change fonts and Polyglossia to switch languages. I wrote an
introductory tutorial for XeLaTeX a couple of years ago. It needs some
updating but nonetheless will get you started; after working through the
discussion of Fontspec and Polyglossia there, you can use the
documentation for those packages to answer additional questions. See
http://scholarsfonts.net/xetextt.pdf.

Dear friends,
As a relatively new user of XeTeX, I have a number of doubts. But right
now, let me ask you two of them. I would be thankful if someone could
point out a good tutorial on xelatex.
My doubts are:
1. How can I change the font inside a document? For instance, let me say
I have a document such as this:
The fox and the dog
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped
over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
I want "The fox and the dog" in the font, let us say, "FreeSans" and the
rest of the text in the font "FreeSerif". How do I do that?
2. I am creating a document in two languages, let us say, English and
Malayalam, with both languages appearing intermixed. Now, how do I set
the fonts for each language? I have a font for Malayalam, but the
English text does not appear very beautiful in that font, so I would
like the English text to appear in some other font.
Thanking for any help that may be forthcoming and wishing everyone a
Merry Christmas and a Very Happy 2013 and beyond.
Regards,
Sasi
