XeTeX is an extension of Donald Knuth's TeX, originally and primarily
written by Jonathan Kew. It natively supports UTF-8 Unicode input and
TrueType and OpenType fonts, mainly via external third-party libraries.
(Run xetex --version to see a list of the principal ones.)
XeTeX's user-level output is a PDF file; it does not support standard
DVI output, but an extended DVI format which is converted to PDF by
xdvipdfmx.
