Hi Marc:

Try this after you make sure TeX Gyre Termes (or Bonum ... or Latin 
Modern Roman, etc) is installed on your system. These fonts come with 
TeXLive09 and TL10:

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\fontspec{GaramondPremrPro}
\setmainfont{GaramondPremrPro}

\newfontfamily\tgt[Scale=MatchLowercase]{TeX Gyre Termes}

\begin{document}
Do you know if {\tgt\textvisiblespace} this works?


\end{document}


HTH.
