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

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 for publication and I would like it to look as
"authentic" as I can.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble.

Best regards,
Sasi
