year = {2018},
title = {Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.}
}
Adding usepackage{fontspec}
decreases the indentation of the biblatex entries in the bibliography, removing it increases it again. Why?
I came across this problem after trying to break a long url in the bibliography of an article. The decreased indentation changes the breakpoint. Furthermore it makes the url overflow by one stubborn character even though I set biburllcpenalty and biburlucpenalty accordingly. Without using fontspec there is no overflow.

Welcome to TeX.SE! I can confirm this with current MiKTeX 2.9 and Windows 8.1. Which tex distribution and OS do you use? Can you add the bibentrx of the article which shows the issue with the url?

Probably someone who knows KOMA-Script better may be able to give a more precise answer. But, as far as I was able to understand, this behavior hangs on how scrartcl
class handles parindent
which is, in turn, used by biblatex to set the bibliography hanging indent.
biblatex uses the length bibhang
on the bibenvironment of the authoryear
style. And it is set in biblatex.def
with:
setlength{bibhang}{ifnumequal{parindent}{0}{1em}{parindent}}
Which will set bibhang
to parindent
but default bibhang
to 1em if parindent
is 0 for some reason, which is not the case here (that is parindent
is not 0, so bibhang
actually receives parindent
).
Now if we build the document below with XeLaTeX:
documentclass[paper=A4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl}
typeout{theparindent}
begin{document}
theparindent
end{document}
The PDF will print "12.0pt", but we will find "20.0pt" in the log.
This means that, for some reason, parindent
is 20pt in the preamble, and 12pt in the document. biblatex sets bibhang
in the preamble, thus, in the absence of other intervening packages, takes the value of 20pt.
Now, if we add fontspec
to the document:
documentclass[paper=A4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl}
usepackage{fontspec}
typeout{theparindent}
begin{document}
theparindent
end{document}
We will find "12pt" in both the document and the log. So, if biblatex
is called after fontspec
, it will receive now the value of 12pt.
This doesn't really mean that fontspec
is responsible for this setting on it's own. As far as I grasp, it is more likely bringing some KOMA hook anticipating the setting which would otherwise come "at begin document". For example, if we substitute the call to fontspec
with KOMA's recalctypearea
, we get the same result: 12pt in both the document and the log.
documentclass[paper=A4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl}
recalctypearea
typeout{theparindent}
begin{document}
theparindent
end{document}
This explains why, in scrartcl
class, if you load biblatex
after fontspec
you get different bibhang
s. But I cannot really explain why parindent
works the way it does in scrartcl
.
Still, as you probably want fontspec
anyway in your document, this discussion is more of a curiosity. You woudn't want to remove fontspec
just because, by sheer chance (yes, a change in bibhang
may trigger an overfull hbox in you url) it allows for a better line break in a single bib entry. So you'll have to look for some other form to break your entry's url (there are several answers in this site on this subject).

Welcome to TeX.SE! I can confirm this with current MiKTeX 2.9 and Windows 8.1. Which tex distribution and OS do you use? Can you add the bibentrx of the article which shows the issue with the url?
