I have a document I want to convert using Xelatex. Based on the info here, I've gone through the file and made a number of changes. However, while it will output a new PDF, the conversion fails to pick up any text formatting, such as Bold.

In my Makefile, I am simply pointing Xelatex at the source file - e.g, make foo.pdf.

What am I missing?

Here's (real) minimal example that solves your problem.

documentclass{article}



usepackage{fontspec}

%usepackage{mathptmx} % don't use this package with XeLaTeX

setmainfont{TeX Gyre Termes}

begin{document}

textbf{Some text}

end{document}

Independently, don't pass the xelatex option to hyperref.

You get

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `TU/ptm/m/n' undefined

(Font)              using `TU/lmr/m/n' instead on input line 23.



LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `TU/ptm/bx/n' undefined

(Font)              using `TU/ptm/m/n' instead on input line 25.

and this means you won't get Times, but Latin Modern, with no font shape or series variation.

The error is loading mathptmx. If you want Times, there are several choices, depending on your setup. If you just have BasicTeX, forget it: it doesn't have most of the useful things. However Mac OS X provides an OpenType Times font.

I fixed several errors; mainly package loading and names of environments: don't use begin{raggedleft} or begin{raggedright}, but begin{flushright} and begin{flushleft} respectively.

See also the comments I added.

documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}



usepackage[margin=1.905cm]{geometry}

usepackage{fontspec}

usepackage{ulem}



%usepackage[none]{hyphenat} % Loading this is a recipe for bad typography

usepackage{enumitem}

usepackage[hyphens]{url}

urlstyle{same}

usepackage{hyperref} % no xelatex nor xetex option; it should be loaded last

hypersetup{

    colorlinks=true,

    urlcolor=blue,

    }



%pagenumbering{gobble} % never ever use this, particularly with hyperref

pagestyle{empty} % this is good



setmainfont{Times New Roman}

The typesetting is very unbalanced, though.
