How can I create PDFs which maintain figures using XeLaTeX?

Question

I want to be able to use the fonts of my OS when creating PDFs. After reading a but, I've come to understand that this requires me to use XeLaTeX (instead of plain LaTeX) and the package \fontspec. I use MixTeX and Winedt 10. I've managed to change to all desired fonts - so far, so good. However, after running XeLaTex in Winedt, I am not allowed to created a DVI, which I could then in turn into a PDF. In fact, I don't manage to create a PDF at all - the only option I can choose is "PDF Preview" (the option PDFLaTeX crashes), and while this PDF-preview shows the desired font, I also lacks many features of the figures (in the case below a syntactic tree created with the package \xyling)

How do I create an actual PDF after running XeLaTeX, and how do I make sure it includes figures?

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Arial}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{xyling}

\begin{document} 

Some text 

\Tree { & \K{CP}\B{dl}\B{dr} \\ \K{C$^0$}\Below{[+Top, +Foc]}\Below{\textbf{verb}} && \K{TP}}

\end{document}

xyling package is really only written for dvips and is explicitly not portable to other systems. See the large box on the first page of its manual that highlights this.

That said, you can make it work with a few warnings with xelatex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Arial}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\RequirePackage[color,all,dvips,dvipdfm]{xy}% sigh force dvipdfm without getting a option clash error
\usepackage{xyling}

\begin{document} 

Some text 

\Tree { & \K{CP}\B{dl}\B{dr} \\ \K{C$^0$}\Below{[+Top, +Foc]}\Below{\textbf{verb}} && \K{TP}}

\end{document}
