Im trying to typeset a book using fontspec and the EB Garamond font. I try first to use Lualatex because I wanted to experiment with some features of the impnattypo (french typography) package. However, at first I had some problems rendering OpenType features like historic ligatures, small caps in conjuction with caps to small caps, and almost all the contextual alternatives. Then, I found suggestions about a problem with lualatex, so I changed to XeLaTeX, and some of my problems got fixed, but some of them not. For example, I can't activate historic ligatures, I can't get the alternative "1" (feature cv11), and the TeX ligatures (--- and such) don't work. Here is a working example:
% !TEX TS-program = xelatex
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8
\documentclass[11pt,DIV=8]{scrbook}
\usepackage[papersize={140mm,210mm}]{geometry}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{realscripts}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}
\defaultfontfeatures{RawFeature={+hlig,+clig,+dlig,+cv11,+cv90,+calt,+ccmp,+swsh},Ligatures=TeX,Numbers={Proportional,OldStyle}}
%Cool Small caps
\newcommand{\smallcaps}[1]{\textsc{\MakeLowercase{#1}}}
%first paragrpaph definition
\newcommand{\primero}[1]{\noindent{\smallcaps{#1}}}
% cool french typography
\usepackage[ hyphenation,
parindent,
lastparline
]{impnattypo}
\usepackage[all]{nowidow}
\raggedbottom
\setlength{\emergencystretch}{3em} % prevent overfull lines
% footers and headers
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage} % except the center
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}%
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE]{\small{\smallcaps{Some Author}}}
\fancyhead[RO]{\small{\smallcaps{Some Title For This}}}
\fancyfoot[C]{\small\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.1pt}
% chapter start
\renewcommand*\sectfont{\rmfamily\scshape}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\begin{document}
Quienes queriendo. \textit{Quienes quieren querer queriendo.}
---This should be an em-dash,and the ligature in this: Th should work.
--This should be an en-dash and this historic ligatures should work: estaba octubre.
--- These ones should not look like roman numerals: 111111.
\kant[1]
\textit{\kant[2]}
\end{document}
I tried the options in the fontspec manual, and also tried the suggestions from the font author's own specimen data and his recommendations for XeLaTeX use. I also tried using Mapping=tex-text
and Ligatures=TeX
with no success. I also tried changing from Raw OpenType features to fontspec defined features (like Ligatures={Historic}.
I don't know what else to do. I have scrambled around with this file all day with no success. And the worst thing is that I know I made it work before! but now I can't remeber how... :( I know there must be some little and obvious thing that I'm missing.
