[XeTeX] Typeblock moved?

The crop marks go on the outside of the trimmed page, which may be  
smaller than the stock. If the trimmed page and stock are the same  
size, the crop mark lines may not show, though the circles will.

If you're using odd paper sizes, you can get the proper dimensions --  
in points -- when you call \checkandfixthelayout (?).

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Musa
