Hello!
There's a new font, Sitka, being released with Windows 8.1, which supports
optical sizing, but not in the standard OpenType way (that would be too
easy). Instead, they've decided to add two new fields to the OS/2 table

If you can't wait, the TECkit mapping will work regardless of your XeTeX

I'm not sure I understand the desired layout, but why not:

If the TITLE and WORD are meant to fit on a single line, then this should
be fine.

Do you have to use the verbatim environment? If not, you could try the
listings or fancyvrb package. IIRC, both will let you escape parts of
the code so you can do things like changing the font and text
direction.

I got bored so I made a teckit mapping anyway. (The solution we
reached off-list was to just use the US Extended keyboard already
present on Mac OSX for native unicode entry since backwards
compatibility was not a concern.)
It'll do placement according to what I understand from reading wikipedia:
I've never heard of pinyin.sty, but then again, I probably would have
made a teckit mapping without ever looking up the existence of such a

You'll want to check out the other thread related to xecjk from this

You can also use fontlist and pipe the output to a text file.
