Hi all (yes, it's me again!):
If I compile this file:
\documentclass{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\begin{document}
---
\end{document}
with XeLaTeX, then I get a PDF file which contains a single
character, namely an em-dash. But if I add, say, \setmainfont{Arial}
before \begin{document}, then what I get is ---. Why? Do I have to
use \textemdash instead?
No. When you specify the main font, just specify the Mapping:
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Arial}
This tells xelatex to convert the latex conventions (such as --- )
(and other things) to the proper unicode versions.
It's set by default for CM fonts, I guess.
Just beware that it might also perform other ligature substitutions when
tex mapping is enabled (not a bad thing, just not always desired)
