Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: texlive-xetex

Using XeTeX, you don't normally get the default TeX behaviour of mapping
-- to en-dash, etc. You have to enable the tex-text mapping for the font
you load to achieve this. However, in the current Ubuntu version of
XeTeX, it is impossible to correctly load the default Latin Modern fonts
and use the tex-text mapping. This is fixed in XeTeX SVN so that the LM
fonts use the tex-text mapping by default. Not sure if this is fixed in
Debian either.

For more information, see this thread:
http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/xetex/2007-July/006848.html and the fix
here: http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/xetex/2007-July/006855.html (though
I'm sure it's better to use the actual fix in the source files in SVN).
