Howdy,

You should get in contact with the maintainers of those packages to resolve the problem.

But I have a questions for you. Why are you using xelatex with fontspec to typeset a document where you want to use Fourier/Utopia as the font? The microtype package also does a much nicer job with pdflatex than with xelatex. I compile with pdflatex and often use

\usepackage{fourier}
\usepackage[scaled=0.85]{berasans}
\usepackage[scaled=0.85]{beramono}
\usepackage{microtype}

which seems to work very nicely.

It's also not too surprising that two font related packages might interfere with each other and require a particular order of execution.

Good Luck,
