Hello,

It works for me. By default, the TTF/OTF fonts provided by texlive-* packages are not enabled for fontconfig-based programs, like standard editors but also xetex.

You can link the conf files:
ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/09-texlive-fonts.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive-fonts.conf
if you need them. See wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeX_Live#Fonts
