I struggle to include a Russian accent in my Latex document. The MWE is as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setromanfont[Ligatures={Common}]{Adobe Caslon Pro}


\begin{document}


Mitropol{\textquotesingle}ski\u{\i}


\end{document}

This produces enter image description here

Interestingly, the following works fine with PDFLatex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}


Mitropol{\textquotesingle}ski\u{\i}


\end{document}

The font can be downloaded here: https://fontsgeek.com/fonts/Adobe-Caslon-Pro-Regular

    Do not use T1 font encoding in XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/664/why-should-i-use-usepackaget1fontenc#comment1628303_664 – user202729 Mar 28 '23 at 09:50
  • (I think that alone should fix your problem, although I can't test because I don't have the font installed on my machine) – user202729 Mar 28 '23 at 09:51
  • Didn't fix the problem. – julian Mar 28 '23 at 09:56
  • removing \XeTeXinputencoding latin1 \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} and saving the file as UTF-8 should fix it, certainly xelatex can not work with those settings, hyphenation (at least) will always be wrong – David Carlisle Mar 28 '23 at 10:42
  • No it doesn't. I edited my question according to your comments. – julian Mar 28 '23 at 10:49
  • Since your second MWE does not seem to load Adobe Caslon Pro: Are you sure that the font contains the relevant glyph? – Jasper Habicht Mar 28 '23 at 10:51

    can you demonstrate the problem using a generally available font or is it a specific issue with that font? – David Carlisle Mar 28 '23 at 11:10
  • If I remove the Caslon line, xelatex makes this output – David Carlisle Mar 28 '23 at 11:13
  • Try Mitropol\textquotesingle skiĭ Mitropol\textquotesingle ski^^^^012d instead? By the way it's completely redundant to have the extraneous {...} around \textquotesingle (unfortunately one of the highly-upvoted answers only site do that, I point out in a comment and in my answer but it's probably not as noticeable) – user202729 Mar 28 '23 at 11:58
  • Seems it's with the Adobe Caslon Pro font. Is there a way to manually add the character ĭ to that font? – julian Mar 28 '23 at 12:14
  • see fontspec manual section V: Commands for accents and symbols – David Carlisle Mar 28 '23 at 13:10
  • does ski^^^^012d or skii^^^^0306 work? I would guess the first does not, but the second with a combining breve might, can not test without the font – David Carlisle Mar 28 '23 at 15:13
  • Doesn't work either. Guess one needs to hack it in as in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/20789/tex-accents-do-not-seem-to-work-with-fontspec-and-xe-lua-latex – julian Mar 28 '23 at 16:15
  • As far as I know, Adobe Caslon Pro is a commercial font and I don't think it can be downloaded freely. Are you sure that what's provided by the site you mention is an unadulterated copy of the real font sold by Adobe? – egreg Mar 30 '23 at 09:21
  • I use the font from the link. So I don't mind if it's the true Adobe font. – julian Mar 30 '23 at 09:27
  • abobe caslon neither has the glyph ĭ nor the combining accent for the breve. You could try \setmainfont{LibreCaslonText-Regular.otf} instead, it should work. – Ulrike Fischer Mar 31 '23 at 09:20

Adobe Caslon Pro neither has the glyph ĭ nor the combining accent for the breve, you could try libre caslon instead. It is larger, so you perhaps need to scale it:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont{Adobe Caslon Pro}


\begin{document}


Mitropol{\textquotesingle}ski\u{\i}


\fontspec{Libre Caslon Text}[Scale=0.85]


Mitropol{\textquotesingle}ski\u{\i}
\end{document}
