I am on an ubuntu machine with XeLaTeX and have been facing this annoying issue. On setting roman font to any of my otf files (Adobe Jenson Pro, Adobe Garamond Pro etc), the dotless i and j characters (\i and \j) default to ComputerModern. 

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{Adobe Garamond Pro}

\begin{document}

{\Huge i \i \"{i}}
\end{document}

And this is the output:

enter image description here

The otf file does seem to have the dotless-i symbol but this keeps defaulting to CM. Some of my friends using a mac don't seem to be facing this problem though. Is this a non-mac specific issue?

  • What if you type the letter directly without using \i?

  • That works! (stupid of me not to have tried that) But I don't understand why \i doesn't.

    It works fine for me with a current miktex. Are you using a current tex live or do you use the outdated texlive of ubuntu? In the second case: check if fontspec loads xunicode, if not load xunicode after fontspec.
