Compatibility between Tikzlibrary with XeLaTeX

Question

I have a problem using tikzlibrary in XeLaTeX. I have compiled a sample code in pdfLaTeX, and it works. But I can't change my whole document to pdfLaTeX, because I would have problems with fonts:

So, I consider the main problem is the compatibility of tikzlibrary with XeLaTeX; it happens with all patterns. I attached two different pictures to depict the problem.

P.D. I'm using Texpad software, and TexLive2013.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[spanish,es-noshorthands]{babel}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,patterns}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw [pattern=vertical lines] (67mm,20mm)rectangle(150mm,30mm);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{figure}

\end{document}

With XeLaTeX:

With pdfLaTeX:

Also there is a warning in the log file of my document:

Package pgf Warning: Your graphic driver pgfsys-xetex.def does not support patterns. This warning is given only once on input line 1744.

Update

Here I've found the problem. Any different suggestions to deal with?

works without error here, what error do you get, copy the exact error from the log file and paste it in to your question — David Carlisle, May 24 '14 at 22:50
@Isai: I get the same results for both cases (your pfdLaTeX image) with a recently updated TeXLive2013. Can you add \listfiles before \begin{document} and post the versions of the packages you have. — Peter Grill, May 24 '14 at 23:44
@PeterGrill Which package is the most important for?: tikz.sty v2.10-2010; xetex.defv0.96-2013 — Isai, May 25 '14 at 14:48
Given that various of us (including myself) can compile the document with no problems, it's likely that one or more of your package is outdated. So you need follow Peter's suggestion to add \listfiles to your document preamble and add the log output that shows the versions and dates of all the packages loaded so that we can compare to find the offending problem. It's possible that your TikZ is out of date, but that's a large number of individual files, not just a single package, so without knowing the full list, there's no sure way to tell. — Alan Munn, May 26 '14 at 00:56
@AlanMunn I found this warning: Package pgf Warning: Your graphic driver pgfsys-xetex.def does not support patterns. This warning is given only once on input line 16. I linked a question about the same problem. — Isai, May 26 '14 at 01:00
@Isai Please respond to Peter's and my comment, and there is likely a solution to your problem. Does TeXpad allow you to update packages or have locally installed packages? If you can update it, then do so, since the rest of us have no problems compiling your file correctly; if you can't update but can install local packages, the list you provide using \listfiles will allow us to tell you which particular packages might need to be updated. — Alan Munn, May 26 '14 at 03:36
@AlanMunn I have a TeX Live Utility to update, but updates are blocked until a new release according to a message when running. I update my question with versions of the packages. — Isai, May 26 '14 at 17:26
@Isai The list you have posted is not the list generated by compiling your sample document. And also, it has been generated with pdflatex and not xelatex. — Alan Munn, May 26 '14 at 17:52
@AlanMunn Yes, I considered that it would be more important the list of my document. Furthermore, you're right, I edited my question, and it has already generated with xelatex. — Isai, May 26 '14 at 18:16
Your TeXLive2013 installation is not up to date: your version of TikZ/PGF is 2.10. The latest version provided by TeXLive 2013 is 3.0.0. — Paul Gaborit, May 26 '14 at 21:20

I've found that patterns is not supported yet in xelatex: Thread 1, Thread 2

In manual, it can be read in page 109, about restrictions.

So, the unique solution is what in this question is suggested.

That is an ancient thread, your example works in current xetex. – David Carlisle May 26 '14 at 22:36
