Many features like dvi / metapost may produce strange result. you can
search the mailing list and you can find plenty of them.
> And XeTeX can't use "certain specials and other types of features"
> Can someone tell me what kind of "specials and types of features"?
Like Lua language programming, controling nodes/tokens. But writing a

no.
