[Tex/LaTex] How to use Cambria with MiKTeX 2.8

fontsmiktex

I'm trying to use Cambria in an article; I'm using Windows (XP, but I have the font installed), MiKTeX 2.8 and WinEdt 6.0. (Yes, I know Cambria is not available on all machines, but it's not a concern this time, it's a document for only a few people).

I have 

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Cambria}

in my article, but receive the following error. 

("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\xelatex\fontspec\fontspec.sty"
("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\latex\ifxetex\ifxetex.sty")

?

I've also tried to load the font without fontspec as seen at https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/10714

\font\x="Cambria" at 12 pt \x hello

but receive a different error: 

Running miktex-makemf.exe...
miktex-makemf: The Cambria source file could not be found.

Running hbf2gf.exe...


hbf2gf (CJK ver. 4.8.0)



Couldn't find `Cambr.cfg'

miktex-maketfm: No creation rule for font Cambria.

! Font \x=Cambria at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
l.9 \font\x="Cambria" at 12 pt

Best Answer

Based on the error message:

XeTeX is required to compile this document. * Sorry!

using XeLaTeX should remedy the problem.
