UTF-8-encoded input files can be also processed by TeX by using the inputenc package, but I assume that XeTeX does a few additional things (I don't use XeTeX myself, so I can't say much about it).
I am also not using it heavily as it still has (at least for me) lots of problems when using mathematical formulas. However it uses OpenType fonts.
The explanation of bug #588156 is a bit strange and I doubt that making the TeX fonts available to fontconfig helps with this problem. "Linux Libertine" is *not* a TeX font and is *not* stored under /usr/share/texmf/fonts/. Therefore, how can the presence or absence of this directory in the fontconfig search path have any influence on whether "Linux Libertine" is available to XeTeX? (Contrary to what Christian writes in his bug report, this is also not what is described in the ArchLinux Wiki.)
Texlive provides the package 'libertine'. see (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/libertine/) The corresponding fonts from texlive-fonts-extra are installed in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/. I do not have installed the package LinuxLibertine. I hope that explains my bug report better. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
