Thanks for the reply, Will.

I have reported the issue
(http://github.com/wspr/fontspec/issues#issue/37), but it has to be
achieved using other packages.

xcolor has a \blendcolors command but is not so easy to use it with fonts.

The transparent package form Heiko Oberdiek seems to be the perfect
choice here, but it only works with pdflatex.

Would it be possible to adapt it to XeLaTeX?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
