So how is it, I am forced to ask, that an add-on package can achieve
something that the underlying
engine cannot ? This seems very odd to me.
The fontspec package does not use PDF specials which TiKZ/PGF uses.
That's my simply explanation. It has built-in transparency support
which is built-in into Mac OS X. Xdvipdfmx does not use this (yet).
Yes, but I'm not using the fontspec package. I am using the raw \font
primitive provided by XeTeX. Now if TikZ/PGF can achieve transparency
using the XeTeX engine with xdvipdfmx, then the underlying engine must
be able to do the same thing. So why doesn't it ?!
