 ***********

Two things: I see no need for fontenc or textcomp with this document; you have xunicode, fontspec and xltxtra loaded multiple times; especially look at the version of fontspec which has a fix for a problem with color (it's now at v2.1a).

One Warning: If you used TLU today and did a ``critical update'' of tlmgr you probably didn't pick up several updates (including fontspec 2.1a?). There will be an update for TLU (to fix a change in the behavior of tlmgr) ASAP but you can pick up the ``missing'' updates now by running

sudo tlmgr update --all

(and giving your admin password) in Terminal.

Good Luck,
