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.

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. XeTeX even allows raw OpenType feature tags to be passed to the font. Microtypography is also supported. XeTeX also supports typesetting mathematics using Unicode fonts that contain special mathematical features, such as Cambria Math or Asana Math as an alternative to the traditional mathematical typesetting based on TeX font metrics. XeTeX processes input in two stages. In the default operating mode the xdv output is piped directly to the driver without producing any user-visible intermediate files. It is possible to run just the first stage of XeTeX and save the xdv , although as of July [update] there are no viewers capable of displaying the intermediate format. Starting from version 0. As of version 0. Its LaTeX counterpart is invoked as xelatex.

You can also use LuaLaTeX xelatex run the same code. TUG Interview. Retrieved January 8,

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 example project outlined below shows how to create folders, upload fonts and configure them with fontspec. Post by sunnyriegel » Tue Apr 12, pm. Of course, because TeX is controlled by a programming language there is always the possibility of making mistakes—bugs in your TeX file which TeX cannot understand or simply do not give the results you were expecting. During the s Knuth decided to freeze active development of TeX because he wanted to ensure the long-term stability of his software: he decided that no new features would be added to TeX. Of course, many of the same primitives are supported by all engines but some are specific to a particular engine. The following video shows how to do that. In Knuth published an article called The Future of TeX and MetaFont in which he stated that his development of TeX and related software was at an end but that others were free to build on the work he had done. I suggest to install the current MiKTeX 2. If this program is changed, the resulting system should not be called TeX; the official name TeX by itself is reserved for software systems that are fully compatible with each other. 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:.

A co-author may be travelling or temporarily based at a location without access to LaTeX. 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.
