However,

* if you are satisfied with the selection of fonts on provided for
  LaTeX (see http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/), and
  
* have no special Unicode requirements

you might prefer the traditional pdftex:

* provides professional `microtype`__ layout features
  (see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtype),
* faster,
* well supported and widely available,

That said: how did you produce the xelatex source? Is this possible
with standard sphinx? (I am asking, as I plan to code a xetex writer
for Docutils.)
