  Do you really need Babel?  Why?
  If so, try loading it *before*  \usepackage{fontspec} .
  Does this loading-order still give you problems ?

   Almost certainly you don't want this input-encoding;
   you said you were using UTF-8, so it cannot be correct with XeTeX.

I think you are using packages that are completely out-of-date
for use with XeLaTeX.
Just comment out the lines loading 'babel' and 'applemac' encoding.


There may be some 'dutch' customisations that you still want,
but your example isn't sufficient to see these.
So try loading Babel first, then 'fontspec'.

If you still have problems with your LaTeX documents,
then please send an example.
