This error message doesn't sounds like you're trying to typeset a XeTeX specific file using some variety of LaTeX instead. So I don't think the problem is with your installation of XeTeX. > Well, how could I find out, if it is installed, and if not: What is the > easiest way to get it installed? XeTeX is installed by default with the latest MacTeX. You can test it by entering in the Terminal: xetex --version and it should tell you what version of XeTeX you have; if you don't have it, it'll say "command not found". > I tried to install with the 0.995-version > of this site: > http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=xetex_download > but it didn´t work, I got the message: "preflight script for xetex" Not sure what that message means on its own. But use MacTeX to install a more current version of XeTeX if needed. Bennett
