Thanks very much, Fr. Michael, for the reference and for getting the 
contour package to work properly with XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, it doesn't 
do what I need, which is to print a run of text (e.g. in a header) 
twice, in different fonts (but with identical metrics), with one 
instance of the text exactly on top of the other.

This would enable the use of bi-color fonts like the ones here:

http://www.linotype.com/en/86314/keyword/2-color.html?viewmode=keyword&id=86314&str=2-color&lang=en

I'll hunt around some more among LaTeX packages and see what I can find.

Best wishes,
Peter
