Yes. There is already (still somewhat experimental/beta) support for XeTeX, and as the interface to XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX gets more and more unified (see the latest versions of fontspec and polyglossia) this should allow using LuaTeX as engine as well. > Is it already possible to use it? With a new fontspec and some limitations, most probably yes (try it). Günter
