I copied this code from this answer.
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\tikz [blend group=screen] {
\fill[red!90!black] ( 90:.6) circle (1);
\fill[green!80!black] (210:.6) circle (1);
\fill[blue!90!black] (330:.6) circle (1);
}
\end{document}
I compiled it with XeLaTeX, the result is the following:
(FYI it's just a white square)
And this is the output from pdfLaTeX and LuaLaTeX:
Which is what I was hoping for.
Is this some kind of bug in XeLaTeX? Did I miss something?
Edit: Mark Wibrow in the comments linked this answer, that was compiled with xelatex. Now, my experience with tikz and related graphic packages is very limited: I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong here, but even if it's somehow fixable I'm pretty sure that xelatex and lualatex shouldn't produce such different outcomes.

. I can also reproduce withXeTeX 3.1415926-2.5-0.9999.3-2013060708 (TeX Live 2013)
. WithXeTeX 3.1415926-2.4-0.9998 (TeX Live 2012)
, I get a complaint aboutblend mode
but I do get the circles in the PDF - just not blended as expected with an older version oftikz
. This is GNU/Linux x86_64. Not sure why you don't see the problem with the same version of XeTeX as my 2013 one. – cfr Jul 4 '14 at 22:17ghostscript
