André,

if you need to compare two XeLaTeX files, then you don't need the  
fancy XeLaTeX or, better, system fonts to show these differences or  
changes. If you make that XeLaTeX source bi-lang, add to it a preamble  
for pdfLaTeX in UTF-8 encoding, then you should be able to use  
changebar.sty with, for example, Times or Helvetica or Latin Modern.


Vafa Khalighi's iftex package might be helpful to activate either this  
or that preamble. An UTF-8 enabled LaTeX preamble could be:

	\else
		\immediate\write16{==We're without XeTeX==}
	  \usepackage{cmap}
	  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
	%%%%\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{pag}
	%%%%\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ppl}
	%%%%\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr}
	  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
	  \usepackage{fixltx2e}
	  \usepackage{lm}	%times,helve,
	  \usepackage[unicode]{hyperref}
	%  \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.png,.jpeg}		% allowed graphics  
formats
	 \ifPDFTeX
		\immediate\write16{==\jobname: Bonjour, PDF!==}
	    \usepackage[activate={true,nocompatibility},verbose=true] 
{microtype}
	%    \usepackage[protrusion=true,expansion=true]{microtype}
	 \else
		\immediate\write16{==¡Hola \jobname: DVI!==}
	%  \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.ps,.eps}			% allowed graphics formats
	  \usepackage[protrusion=true,expansion=false]{microtype}
	  \fi
	  \makeatletter
	  \newcommand*\TeX at logo@spacing[6]{		% Provide outside XeTeX its logos
	    \def\xxt at kern@Te{#1}%
	    \def\xxt at kern@eX{#2}%
	    \def\xxt at lower@e{#3}%
	    \def\xxt at kern@La{#4}%
	    \def\xxt at kern@aT{#5}%
	    \def\xxt at kern@eL{#6}%
	  }
	  \DeclareRobustCommand\XeTeX{%
	    \leavevmode
	    \smash{%
	      X\lower\xxt at lower@e
	      \hbox{\kern\xxt at kern@eX
	        \setbox0=\hbox{E}\dimen0=\ht0\advance\dimen0by\dp0%
	        \reflectbox{E}%
	     }\kern\xxt at kern@Te\TeX}}%
	  \DeclareRobustCommand\XeLaTeX{%
	    \leavevmode
	    \smash{%
	      X\lower\xxt at lower@e
	      \hbox{\kern\xxt at kern@eX
	        \setbox0=\hbox{E}\dimen0=\ht0\advance\dimen0by\dp0\relax
	        \reflectbox{E}%
	    }\kern\xxt at kern@eL\LaTeX}}
	  \TeX at logo@spacing{-0.15em}{-0.125em}{0.5ex}{-0.36em}{-0.12em} 
{-0.13em}
	  \makeatother
	\fi
	
	\newcommand*{\Titel}[2]{%
	  \begingroup
	    #1
	    \ifXeTeX
	      \fontspec[LetterSpace=25,WordSpace=1.875]{Lucida Bright}
	      \textcolor{Maroon}{#2}%
	    \else
	      \ifPDFTeX
	        \textcolor{Maroon}{\textls[250]{#2}}%
	      \else
	        \textcolor{Maroon}{\so{#2}}%
	      \fi
	    \fi
	  \endgroup
