MLA style recommendation and quotation marks with XeLaTeX

Hi,

I'm trying to create a basic bibliography with BiBTeX (combined with XeLaTeX) in MLA style, with annotations (it's an annotated bibliography), but I've had no luck in finding an appropriate style file.

I've tried mla-good with natbib (produces `` and '' for quotes instead of real quotation ...

I managed to figure it out! Running the command

Code: Select all

tlmgr update --all
in Terminal fixed the problem.

Thanks for all your help!

That's very odd...perhaps I installed fontspec/xltxtra wrong?

I'm sure I'm using XeLaTeX...in fact, when I try to use LaTeX it tells me that XeTeX is required to compile the document. It is producing a .pdf though (when I remove the command).

I've attached the log file. Also, here's the output ...

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{xltxtra, fontspec}
\setmainfont{Arial}

\begin{document}

\end{document}
The error is on line 4 (undefined control sequence). By the way, I've tried using only one of the packages, but I still get the same error.

Re: Help with Fonts

Thanks again for the reply.

I'm using TexLive 2010-Basic, compiling with XeLaTeX, with TeXShop (Mac).

I did install the xpackages bundle with tlmgr successfully. Now when I try to load xltxtra and fontspec, it doesn't give me an error, but as soon as I try to use any command associated with those ...

Re: Help with Fonts

Thanks for your reply, and sorry once again; I'll make sure to look more carefully next time.

Yes, I have tried that, but it tells me that the xparse is not found in the package repository. Any suggestions?

Help with Fonts

Hi everyone!

I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum, so I do apologize if this isn't the right one.

I'm having difficulty using system fonts with XeLaTeX. I've tried installing fontspec and xltxtra, but it keeps on telling me that the file "xparse.sty" is missing. Any ideas?

Thanks!
