    Works fine for (if I add a font). Are you sure that your system is up-to-date? Imho \__fontspec_pass_args:nnn has been removed from a current fontspec, see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/350664/…

  • Dear @Ulrike.. thanks for your response. What's your point about "up-to-date" ? i just installed full tex-live and don't know what else should be done.

  • Run the texlive manager: tlmgr update --list and check if there updates.

  • Did you install a standalone texlive or something from your linux distribuation?

The problem is bad installation of TexLive (using debian packages). The Correct way is to install from ctan.org. I just downloaded an iso image from ctan mirrors and every thing just works ! Thank you @gernot & @Ulrike Fischer for your helpful comments.
