why Can not I compile the .xtx file with Texshop on Mac

[Expo0911]

Should I install MacTex?

[lucasff]

I have MacTex installed and can't use it either.

I have solved the problem, I forgot how but I change some of its original code and use xeTex to compile

[lucasff]

How do you did that?

[johnrocamora]

It works fine for me using mactex (Homebrew). Run xelatex, then bibtex and finally xelatex again and you should be good to go.

@johnrocamora Thanks big time Sir. You just saved the day.

This is what I did to get it to work on my mac.

1. I download MacTex. https://tug.org/mactex/
2. I went to Applications/Tex, and opened TexShop
3. I changed the extension of the file from .xtx to .tex
4. I opened the file in TexShop
5. I went to the top Left. Next to the "Typeset" button, there was a drop down menu with LaTeX set as the default. I changed it to XeLaTeX.

After this, I was able to TypeSet the file. Thanks!

I still cannot typeset the Macfonts version after following @ultimatedbz 's guide. I tried on TexShop and Texmaker.

Have you tried changing the filename extension to .tex? Also, I would recommend using the latexmk commandline tool to do all the compilation steps completely. Just make sure your current directory contains the .tex file and run latexmk -xelatex and it'll generate the pdf by running the correct compile commands as needed.

Try step 5.
