You could try preview:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[active,xetex,tightpage]{preview}
\begin{document}
\begin{preview}
blub
\end{preview}
\end{document}

Nevertheless, keeping up promoting XeTeX at IEEE Transactions might in
the long term turn out to be fruitful.

The class file is inanimate, it could be changed, but more to the point, I 
don't think the editorial staff who prepare IEEE Transactions with 
post-acceptance papers are aware/accepting of it.  Not to badmouth the IEEE, 
which is a fine professional society, but my experience with mainstream 
journals in general is that their staffs are generally not very receptive to 
XeTeX and other new-fangled tools.  One could get away with using XeTeX with 
IEEE or other *conference* papers where only a final properly formatted PDF is 
required for the proceedings, but anytime a source file has to be supplied, 
using its features will only slow down the production process and delay the 
appearance of your paper.

Yes, see below. Disclamer: it is my first experience in Mac OS X
programming, and I did not care to release resources.

Use:

1) $ ./PdfHelloWorldEffects

File "hello.pdf" contains "hello", font Times-roman, blue color.

2) $ ./PdfHelloWorldEffects punknova-regular.otf

Font "punknova-regular.otf", blue color

3) $ ./PdfHelloWorldEffects
punknova-regular.otf /System/Library/Filters/Black \ \&\ White.qfilter 

Font "punknova-regular.otf", black color due to application of Quartz
Filter "Black & White".
