Thank you, Peter. 

I found another solution : using \marginpar (together with the package 
'marginparhack' to ensure the marginpars are not floated away) and draw a vrule 
of some depth in the marginpar. I have to adjust the depth at hand, but this is 
easy.

In this way, there is no more problem with XeTeX and I can keep my Frutiger 
fonts. 

But another question arise: I would like the marginpars to be always on the 
left side (this is where revision bars are always put) and I cannot see any 
means to ensure that. 

This seems to be impossible with the twoside option (in book.cls), and with the 
oneside option, marginpars are always on the right. Trying \reversemargin par 
with oneside has the only effect of making the marginpars disappear.

I could use an \llap to swing the vrule across the page, but this looks rather 
risky.

Does anyone know another solution? It would be better if this solution could 
also work with twoside.
