here is a sample source
----------------------------------
% XeLaTeX can use any Mac OS X font. See the setromanfont command below.
% Input to XeLaTeX is full Unicode, so Unicode characters can be  
typed directly into the source.

% The next lines tell TeXShop to typeset with xelatex, and to open  
and save the source with Unicode encoding.

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,epsfig}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
%\usepackage{geometry}                % See geometry.pdf to learn the  
layout options. There are lots.

%\geometry{landscape}                % Activate for for rotated page  
geometry
%\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}    % Activate to begin paragraphs with  
an empty line rather than an indent
\usepackage{graphics}

% Will Robertson's fontspec.sty can be used to simplify font choices.
% To experiment, open /Applications/Font Book to examine the fonts  
provided on Mac OS X,
% and change "Hoefler Text" to any of these choices.

I have baseline problems in Acrobat.

The problem is the display in Acrobat Reader (typically at 100%).
