Bonjour,

I am wondering if fedora will make a rpm package of xetex. tetex is now
quite dead for it is no more maintained. xetex is a macOS X distro of
TeX and is able to compile TeX files with True Type and Open Type fonts
which is a nice feature to write texts in "exotic" scripts....

I tried to compile from scratch xetex under fc6 but there are some
compatibilities problems (names of "same" libraries and not identic for
instance) and there is a problem to make ttf and ot fonts available for
xetex.

So my wish is: give us xetex with F7...

Regards.
