Hi Karl -
I've just added one more resource that goes with xetex to the TL
repository: the "font mapping" file tex-text. I've put this under
texmf-dist/fonts/misc/fontmapping, as it's font-related, but doesn't
really fit any of the existing places. Please ensure that the xetex
collection in TL includes this package.
(This "font mapping" is unrelated to "map files" in the normal TeX
sense. It's the character mapping mechanism used to support DEK-style
ligatures like '---' -> em dash, `` -> open double quote, etc., when
using standard Unicode fonts that don't have these encoded in lig/
kern tables.)
There are two files there, tex-text.map and tex-text.tec. Strictly
speaking, only the .tec (compiled mapping table) is needed at
runtime, and the .map (mapping source) could go elsewhere as a source
file, but these are so small that it doesn't seem worth separating
them in that way for now.
