Any chance of a version that works on Snow Leopard being released? Just tried installing – no luck. A shame, I'm about to start typesetting a paper.

Did you try mactex?

Got it, messing with it now :) There a neat way to use emacs with it?

I'm new at AUCTeX but so far, so good. I'm using TeX Live via MacPorts but I guess AUCTeX and XeTeX would get along fine.

[bugs]

They should and mactex should basically be the same as texlive as I believe that is what it is created from, if someone wants a gui for the mac I believe http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/ is popular

Not XeTeX but MacTex-2009 is great on SL. http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/

xetex is available as a MacPorts port. Works fine for me on 10.6.2. I think it got installed as a dependency, actually. Possibly for MathML.

Although note that MacPorts currently has TexLive 2007, which is a few years old. Packaging TexLive 2009 is in the works, but will take some doing.

maybe I'm missing something, but XeTeX is part of MacTeX, as MacTeX includes TeXLive. (MacTeX 2009, SL)

  $ which xetex
  /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/universal-darwin/xetex
  $ xetex
  This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.2 (TeX Live 2009)
