I'm using XeTeX and my % symbol is not showing when I compile to PDF! I've added my code below. I've gone through the XeTeX companion guide (maybe not very thoroughly) and Googled, but I can't find out why this is happening. I would totally appreciate anyone telling me why it's not working and how to fix it. 

\begin{description} \fontspec[]{ArchitectsDaughter} As 1\% RF = 1 cM, two genes which lie 100 cM apart should have a recombination frequency of 100 \% \end{description}

Thanks in advance!

BTW, I'm using XeTeX and LaTeX at the same time... if this bit of information is helpful...

EDIT:

Apparently my font doesn't have a % glyph... and now I feel like a total dork for not coming to that conclusion sooner.

  • Please post a full minimal example (starting \documentclass and ending \end{document})

This minimal example

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec} 
\begin{document}
\fontspec[]{Minion Pro} As 1\% RF = 1 cM, two genes which lie 100 cM apart should have a recombination frequency of 100\%
\end{document}

gives the expected output. I am guessing that your Architects Daughter font does not have a % glyph. Check it's character map at Font Squirrel.

    You are very right... I should have checked that first! Thanks for help!
