[Tex/LaTex] Is it already possible to use the STIX fonts

fontsstix

The STIX Fonts Project would provide consistent fonts for some things that are currently missing in LaTeX (e.g. lowercase \mathcal and \mathbb). The website says LaTeX support "will follow in 2011".

Until then is there some way to already use the fonts? Maybe using xelatex instead of pdflatex?

LaTeX support for STIX fonts (Type 1 fonts, TFM files, support packages, etc) have been released few days ago (currently in beta), for people who want to use STIX but cannot/do not want to switch to a modern TeX engine.
