Hello,

thank you, Bennett.

I´ve tried several times now to use XeTex and followed the instructions from:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/XeTeX

But I just get as far as "you should find a new item under the View menu", which never appears. What could that be, what is the problem?
That´s why I thought that I would have to update XeTex.

Best*
Jessika

Not sure what that message means on its own. But use MacTeX to install
a more current version of XeTeX if needed.

I don´t know how that works. The MacTex-installer I have is from August 2008, and obviously too old. Should I download the whole installer? The problm is, that when I run the installer I do not get the possibility to install XeTex separately. There is "Ghostscript 8.62", "GUI Applications",
"imageMagickConvert", some fonts, and "TexLive". On this site
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/mac/mactex/
I find various files, but can´t figure out, which one installs XeTex.

For updating MacTeX, see:

(Your version of XeTeX is up to date.)
