It was originally written by Jonathan Kew and is distributed under the X11 free software license. Initially developed for Mac OS X only, it is now available for all major platforms. It natively supports Unicode and the input file is assumed to be in UTF-8 encoding by default. XeTeX can use any fonts installed in the operating system without configuring TeX font metrics , and can make direct use of advanced typographic features of OpenType , AAT and Graphite technologies such as alternative glyphs and swashes , optional or historic ligatures , and variable font weights. Support for OpenType local typographic conventions locl tag is also present.

If so, then this article is for you: a non-technical background to explain the many variations of TeX-based software—what they mean and why they exist. Those new to STM publishing, or considering it as a career, may be surprised to learn that typesetting software whose origins date back some 40 years is still in widespread use by technical authors—and forms a critical component of many modern publishing workflows through services such as Overleaf. It is a common, though understandable, misconception that the use of TeX is restricted to scientific and technical disciplines; specifically, the typesetting of complex mathematics. Whilst it finds most users in those domains, TeX-based software is widely used for the production of non-mathematical content—because of its high quality of output and incredible versatility. Or, if you are interested in cooking, how about producing a recipe booklet? The American historian Daniel J. Boorstin once noted that:. I decide I have to solve the problem myself. The quote above is from page of Digital Typography by Donald E. Knuth is a brilliant computer scientist and whilst developing TeX he, and his colleagues, designed new and sophisticated algorithms to solve some very complex typesetting problems: including automatic line breaking , hyphenation and, of course, mathematical typesetting. Authors were delighted because TeX enabled mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and others, to have precise control over the typesetting and visual appearance of their work.

To use OpenType fonts which xelatex not installed on Overleaf's servers, xelatex, you must first upload the font files to your Overleaf project—provided the font licenses permit this.

The corresponding LaTeX compiler on Overleaf is called xelatex. You can also use LuaLaTeX to run the same code. Different elements in a L a T e X document are formatted with different fonts; for example, in a verbatim environment the text is displayed using a typewriter style. Different font styles can be set for each context:. In the previous example three different fonts are used, the next lines determine the elements that will use this fonts:. There are a large number of fonts installed on Overleaf which you can use in your project, most easily via fontspec.

This article explains how to typeset Chinese documents on Overleaf. See this article to learn how to change the compiler in Overleaf. The ctexart document class part of the ctex package bundle which implements common Chinese typesetting practices. We discuss further details about the ctex classes below. In order to handle characters for Simplified Chinese typesetting you can use the ctex document classes: ctexart , ctexrep , ctexbook and ctexbeamer.

TUG Interview. XeTeX processes input in two stages. In the following LaTeX code, note how we have used the Path parameter to tell fontspec that the font files are located in a local folder within our project's file system:. Retrieved March 18, It natively supports Unicode and the input file is assumed to be in UTF-8 encoding by default. Support for OpenType local typographic conventions locl tag is also present. As noted earlier, in the s Knuth decided to freeze his development of TeX: no more new features in his version. It is usually used with the fontspec package, which provides a configurable interface for font selection, and allows complex font choices to be named and later reused. I'll keep that in mind. Not only that but LaTeX was designed to be extensible: you can plug-in additional, more specialist, macro packages written to solve specific typesetting problems—e. But all is not lost: enter the world of TeX macros!

The corresponding LaTeX compiler on Overleaf is called xelatex. You can also use LuaLaTeX to run the same code. Different elements in a L a T e X document are formatted with different fonts; for example, in a verbatim environment the text is displayed using a typewriter style.

The example project outlined below shows how to create folders, upload fonts and configure them with fontspec. TeX installations have to be actively maintained because the TeX world is not static and your installation can soon become out of date—much to the annoyance of your users who might need to take advantage of newer or more advanced TeX-based tools. What is XeLaTeX doing? Finally, we are in a position to discuss LaTeX. Support for OpenType local typographic conventions locl tag is also present. XeTeX is also supported by LyX since version 2. Windows-based users frequently use another distribution called MiKTeX. I will post every other question after I've looked for existing posts. Essential cookies only Accept all cookies. XeTeX even allows raw OpenType feature tags to be passed to the font.
