It is, more or less. XeLaTeX needs a different header, that is what the instructions set up. However, I would recommend keeping it simple and put your packages etc in your own style file. In `org-export-latex-classes', replace "\\documentclass[11pt]{article}" with "[NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \\documentclass[11pt]{article}\n\\usepackage{myxe}" and put everything you need in myxe.sty. BTW, this only works if you use a font that provides all the characters you need (and looks nice enough for your taste). Alternatively, you could use `org-export-latex-final-hook' and write a function that translates unicode characters to latex code. -- Florian Beck
