Sorry, I wasn't too familiar with the internal formats
and the differences between dvi and xdv, but I figured
it was lack of support from the preview package's
side.

Thanks, this is working exactly as desired. I will use
this for now as I am not running into any problems
with other packages (yet).

Coincidentally, I was doing the exact same thing. I
was generating TiKZ graphs with dot2tex python script
for inclusion in a larger document using Myriad Pro,
but because of the inconsistency in font, I wanted to
have the graphs in Myriad Pro as well.
