I have noticed discussions on this before and I fail to understand the
need for all the setup mentioned in the above Worg entry.  I use XeLaTeX
almost exclusively, and all I have is something like this:

  ;;; XeLaTeX customisations
  ;; remove "inputenc" from default packages as it clashes with xelatex
  (setf org-latex-default-packages-alist
        (remove '("AUTO" "inputenc" t) org-latex-default-packages-alist))

  (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "xltxtra" t))
  ;; choose Linux Libertine O as serif and Linux Biolinum O as sans-serif fonts
  (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "libertineotf" t))

  ;; org to latex customisations, -shell-escape needed for minted
  (setq org-export-dispatch-use-expert-ui t ; non-intrusive export dispatch
        org-latex-pdf-process		    ; for regular export
        '("xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
  	  "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
  	  "xelatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"))

For beamer export I add this line:

  #+LaTeX_HEADER: \setsansfont{Linux Biolinum O}

So far I have not encountered any problems.  Although I have to say, I
do not use unicode in mathmode.

I am curious to know why others need all this elaborate setup to use
XeLaTeX.

Cheers,
