You could try updating (tuenc is 2017/01/24 v2.0c in the current
release) but I don't think it's likely to be a macro issue ---
ligatures are handled by tfm metrics or the tex-text mapping depending
on the font type. Others on this list would be better able to suggest
ways of debugging a failure

I think p >> 0.999 that native (platform/TTF/OTF/whatever>) fonts are being
used. There is no reason why the behaviour of -- or --- should suddenly
change if TFM-based fonts (shudder) are used.

No, -- and --- are handled by tfm in traditional TeX, in XeTeX it is
handled by the teckit mapping. The keywords are either Mapping=tex-text or
Ligatures=TeX. I have not examined the packages in depth but it may be
added automaticaly. The mapping is defined in file

Unfortunately I saw your email only after building and installing
texlive packages from Debian Sid sources which provided
Thanks for everyone looking into this problem. As I said in another
email, the problem was solved by building packages from Debian Unstable
which provided a newer version.
