I am not fond of diving into metafont.

John already mentioned that some automatic ligatures are activated by using the tex-text mapping when loading the font. The fonts XeTeX uses are better not METAFONT based! These simple fonts have no features and tables and no Unicode encoding. XeTeX needs OpenType or TrueType fonts.

In TeXShop you can't use the pdfTeX engine. TeXShop comes with XeTeX (or LuaTeX) based engines in /Applications/TeX/TeXShop.app/Contents/ Resources/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive or ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines. The ENGINE files in this personal directory take precedence over the original ENGINE shell scripts from inside the TeXShop application bundle. And it's documented.
