Can't use fontspec with pdflatex

I am using tex-maker on manjaro-linux. During compilation I got an error:



! Fatal fontspec error: "cannot-use-pdftex"!
! The fontspec package requires either XeTeX or LuaTeX.!
! You must change your typesetting engine to, e.g., "xelatex" or
! "lualatex" instead of plain "latex" or "pdflatex".!
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.!
! For immediate help type H <return>.
!............................................... msg_fatal:nn {fontspec} {cannot-use-pdftex}


How to fix it ?

    If you are using an editor/IDE then most provide commands for each engine. If you're using the command line, then xelatex ... or lualatex ... will work. But without more details it's hard to answer this.

In the tools menu you have XeLaTeX submenu, but the simplest is certainly to go to the Options -> Configure TeXmaker menu and either define a shortcut for XeLaTeX (there's none by default) or choose xelatex as compilation engine for QuickBuild (shortcut F1):
