XeLaTeX has been added to the standard commands of Texmaker since the version 3.5.1. This blog shows how to use XeLaTeX in Texmaker with a simple example.
1. Use XeLaTeX in Texmaker
Menu –> Options –> Configure Texmaker –> Quick build –> Select ‘XeLaTeX + View PDF’,as shown in the following figure:
Fig. 1. Texmaker configuration
The Latin Modern fonts is defaulted by XeLaTeX, not covering Chinese. To display Chinese characters correctly, the font type should be assigned explicitly by using the command:
\usepackage{fontspec} %Advanced font selection in X∃LATEX and LuaLATEX \setsansfont{<font name>}[<font options>]
Here is a simple example.
\documentclass{beamer} \usetheme{Warsaw} \usepackage{fontspec} \setsansfont{Microsoft YaHei} %Microsoft YaHei Regular (don't include Regular ) % or use the filename \setsansfont{msyh.ttc} \title{标题} \author{作者} \date{} \begin{document} \begin{frame}[noframenumbering] \titlepage \end{frame} \end{document}
PS: Check Windows available fonts by Start –> Run –> %windir%\fonts –> OK.
2. More about XeLaTeX
The following text is excerpted from the wikipedia XeTeX:
XeTeX (/ˈziːtɛx/ zee-tekh[1] or /ˈziːtɛk/) is a TeX typesetting engine using Unicode and supporting modern font technologies such as OpenType, Graphite and Apple Advanced Typography (AAT).
XeLaTeX is a replacement for PDFLaTeX, it takes LaTeX input and turns it into a PDF. The major differences between latex/pdflatex and xelatex are[2]:
- xelatex assumes input is in UTF8 (which allows encoding of non-English and non-Latin characters) by default
- xelatex uses system fonts, not specially installed latex fonts
