You're so close... but not quite! The name you need to use is just  
"STKaiti", not "STKaiti Regular". I believe what Font Book calls the  
"Display Name" of a font is the appropriate one to choose, if in doubt.

As you note, you'll have trouble with the Latin Modern fonts, too, and  
probably some of the other packages you're loading... I don't know how  
the tipa stuff is set up. And the UTF8 inputenc option will have to go,  
as XeTeX will have already interpreted the UTF8 codes before the macros  
see them!

HTH,
