I want to save the output from a xelatex run into a different folder. I found the following explanation Link
I have the fontspec package loaded in my preamble. in Texstuido i changed Menu > Options > Configure TeXstudio > Commands [Tab] > xelatex
to
xelatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=output %.tex
Texstudio is compiling my document with errors, but fontspec indicates that it is not actually xelatex what is used for it?
The error reads :
Fatal fontspec error: "cannot-use-pdftex" The fontspec package requires either XeTeX or LuaTeX. You must change your typesetting engine to, e.g., "xelatex" or "lualatex"instead of plain "latex" or "pdflatex". For immediate help type H .
If i change the settings back to xelatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex everything works fine it seems. I compile via the menu entry Tools- command - Xelatex in either case.
