After updating my MikTeX distribution couple of days ago I discovered that search for words with ligatures (such as "fi" in prefix), which has worked before, fails.

Here the MWE illustrating the problem (compilation with xelatex):

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Path=Fonts/,
             Extension=.ttf,
             BoldFont=FrutigerLTCom-Bold,
             ItalicFont=FrutigerLTCom-Italic,
             BoldItalicFont=FrutigerLTCom-BoldItalic]%
            {FrutigerLTCom-Light}
\begin{document}
Prefix.
\end{document}

As discussed here, the line \usepackage{fontspec} enables the correct behaviour.

Adding the font settings \setmainfont[...]{FutigerLTCom-Light} leads to the incorrect behaviour. Is there a bug that possibly has been introduced to the fontspec package or somewhere else in one of the latest MikTeX updates?

    I can confirm that there is problem, not only in miktex but also in texlive 2018. It looks like a xdvipdfmx problem and I did sent a message to the texlive list.

    The problem has been hopefully fixed in the sources. I can't say when it will picked up by miktex.

  • I updated my MikTeX distribution, but unfortunately I see no changes. BTW, if I use \setmainfont{Times New Roman}, everything works as expected...

  • I have miktex next here on the PC, perhaps the newest xdvipdfmx isn't yet in the standard miktex.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it was solved after updating as mentioned in comments.
