Hi Khaled,
Pander just alerted me about this thread, and I looked into it.

I don't see anything like your output, either on the last official
release of GNU FreeFont (20120503), or its latest SVN, either with my

The glyphs in question, in the Mahjong Tiles range U+1f000 - U+1f02b
are indeed very complicated. I personally spent a lot of time cleaning
the glyphs up, and arranging for simpler representation. Still some of

Dear friends,
When I enter two consecutive minus signs, it does not typeset in the form
of a long dash as in latex. Instead, it appears as two small dashes
together. So, what should I enter to obtain a long dash? Perhaps, the same
difference exists in the way three dashes are also typeset in

I think this entry, from the output of TeXdoc XeTeX,
is what you are looking for, Sasi :
mapping=font map
Uses the specified font mapping for this font. This uses the TECKit engine to
transform unicode characters in the last-minute processing stage of the source.
For example, mapping=tex-text

Thank you for both suggestions.So sorry. I did try both separately, but
still did not succeed. I couldn't get either the smart quotes or the long
dash. Am willing to study any document that is available online if that
would help. The reason I am insisting on this is that I am preparing a
document
I don't speak LaTeX, Sasi, but this hybrid approach
seems to work :
\documentclass {minimal}
\font \bodyfont = Arial Unicode MS:mapping=tex-text
\begin {document}
\bodyfont
Number range : 80--95
Em-dash : used to set off --- parenthetical -- clauses
``Smart quotes''
\end {document}

Hello Sasi,
the document you should study is the documentation of the fontspec package.
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/fontspec.pdf
Otherwise, we can only help us, if you post a minimal example of file
not working as you like.
ciao

If you still get them wrong, it may signal an error in the font used.
Or the font used is a bit economical… (Are these characters far away from Latin
and Indian character ranges needed at all for typesetting in Indian scripts?
They just look good

The more ``modern' way of doing this is to use the option Ligatures=TeX, e.g.,

Sadly that is not backwards-compatible : tried in Plain XeTeX,
no ligatures are recognised :

Howdy,
Hmmm... I thought the original poster was using xelatex?
Yes, he was. But not being a LaTeX user, I like to know what
I can achieve in plain XeTeX, and if Ligatures=TeX were
not a feature of Fontspec but intrinsic in the engine, then
I too would be able to use
Hi All,
There is one possibility which all seem to be all are over-looking!
Direct input!
