I am aware I am not the only one who wants to export text written in org-mode in pfd through XeLaTeX. In fact, I am aware of Kieran Healy's blog and of <http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2011/04/nice-looking-pdfs-with-org-mode-and.html>, but can't seem to find a solution that wotks for me. I use Emacs 23 on a Windows Vista machine.
I do manage to persuade org-mode to use XeLaTeX instead of pdfLaTeX, but org-mode insists upon including the fontenc and inputenc packages even though in org-export-latex-default-packages-alist both packages are set to "nil". So compilation of the tex-file produced by org-mode fails. I can heal this by manually removing both packages from the tex-file, but this, of course, detracts much from the convenience I am used to in using org-mode. Any hints how to solve this problem?
