Thanks David.
This shows the problem. It does not compile correctly and this is the
list of packages:
*File List*
article.cls2014/09/29 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class
size10.clo2014/09/29 v1.4h Standard LaTeX file (size option)
fontspec.sty2017/01/02 v2.5c Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
expl3.sty2016/11/21 v6760 L3 programming layer (loader)
expl3-code.tex2016/11/21 v6760 L3 programming layer
l3xdvipdfmx.def
xparse.sty2016/11/21 v6760 L3 Experimental document command parser
fontspec-xetex.sty2017/01/02 v2.5c Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
fontenc.sty
tuenc.def2016/12/11 v2.0a Standard LaTeX file
fontspec.cfg
***
However when I add
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX,Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}
it compiles correctly.
My first problem was after Beamer gave me a problem. In Beamer I cannot
add this - or can I do something similarly?

Re: [XeTeX] emdash and endash
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 for the tex-text mapping to kick in.

Re: [XeTeX] emdash and endash
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 texmf-dist/fonts/misc/xetex/fontmapping/base/tex-text.map (*.map is compiled to *.tec by teckit-compile).

Re: [XeTeX] Mixed Roman and Indian alphabets for Sanskrit
\usebabelfont[*devanagari]{FontName}
Just a little explanation about its behavior. If we say
\selectlanguage{sanskrit}
then both the language and the script will be set. More precisely,
using the info in the new language files I'm writing (almost by hand!),
babel will do at this point something similar to:
\fontspec[Language=Sanskrit,Script=Devanagari]{FontName}
(Actually, things are a bit more complicated.) Note the selection
will be always with the language, not with the script. This means
the following makes sense
\usebabelfont[*arabic]{FontName}
\selectlanguage{arabic}
\selectlanguage{urdu}
which will do:
\fontspec[Language=Arabic,Script=Arabic]{FontName}
\fontspec[Language=Urdu,Script=Arabic]{FontName}
But if we want two different fonts, we could say
\usebabelfont[arabic]{ArabicFontName}
\usebabelfont[urdu]{UrduFontName}

Howdy,
Compiles correctly here with a fully updated TeX Live 2016:
article.cls2014/09/29 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class
size10.clo2014/09/29 v1.4h Standard LaTeX file (size option)
fontspec.sty2017/02/12 v2.6 Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
expl3.sty2017/02/10 v6878 L3 programming layer (loader)
expl3-code.tex2017/02/10 v6878 L3 programming layer
l3xdvipdfmx.def
xparse.sty2017/02/10 v6878 L3 Experimental document command parser
fontspec-xetex.sty2017/02/12 v2.6 Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
fontenc.sty
tuenc.def2017/01/24 v2.0c Standard LaTeX file
fontspec.cfg
so I've got updated file versions. there were a few problems that cropped up
with the 2.5x versions.
Good Luck,

Does it fail with lualatex too? Can you update to get the newest
latex/fontspec versions?

Unfortunately I saw your email only after building and installing texlive packages from Debian Sid sources which provided *2016.20170123-3* packages instead of *2016.20170123-2*. After that everything seems to be back to normal again. That is probably a good example of running Debian "Testing" in stead of "Stable" :) But a risk worth taking for me. Regards Johann -- J.H.

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. Regards Johann -- J.H.
