miktex-xetex 1 &PACKAGE_NAME; &miktexrev; User Commands
miktex-xetex Unicode-based &TeX; engine
&miktexxetex; option file \command

## Description

Run the &XeTeX; typesetter on file, usually creating `file.pdf`. If the file argument has no extension, `.tex` will be appended to it. Instead of a file name, a set of &XeTeX; commands can be given, the first of which must start with a backslash.

&XeTeX; has simple font installation; it can use any installed fonts in the operating system without configuring &TeX; font metric. As a result, &XeTeX; can access font features such as special ligatures and variable font weights.

## Options

`--no-pdf`

  Generate &XDV; (extended &DVI;) output rather than &PDF;.

`--output-driver=cmd`

  Use cmd as the &XDV;-to-&PDF; driver instead of &xdvipdfmx;.

`--papersize=string`

  Set &PDF; media size to string.

--no-pdf
--output-driver=cmd
--papersize=string
