Why isn't Korean working?

Ah, my bad for nonspecific language. Okay, I found the w32TeX distribution, which contains instructions for installing XeTeX after you deploy the main distribution, so I'm going to try that and see what happens. Will be in touch.

Why isn't Korean working?

Okay,

I got XeLateX installed and working, so we're making progress.

However, it doesn't seem to recognize any fonts. When I /setmainfont{anything} I get errors:

Code: Select all

! Font \zf@basefont=( at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.
I've tried fonts I know I have, like Arial, but I get the same thing for everything. And XeTeX knows they are there, because I ran the fc-cache -v command and I saw that it found all the fonts in the windows/fonts directory.

Any idea why?
