Works. + installation of XeTeX i-Package. + xunicode.sty (previous 
utf8accents.sty)

It can happen that you'll find documents that require osxfonts.sty -- 
forget them!
Others will require utf8accents.sty -- give them xunicode.sty.

Make your XeTeX or XeLaTeX files start like

%&program=xetex
%&encoding=UTF-8 Unicode


Never use constructs like "a or \"i, \AA, ?', \.o, \=e etc! Stay clean 
Unicode.
