I want to insert a \gls acronym into \newthought. 

\documentclass{tufte-book} 
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
\newacronym{ds}{DS}{Directional Sensitivity} % define acronym label/short/long
\makeglossaries

\begin{document}

\newthought{The \gls{ds}} of hair cells

\printacronyms
\end{document}

This works as expected with pdfLaTeX. However, when rendered with XeLaTeX:

! Package glossaries Error: Glossary entry `{ds}' has not been defined.

\glossaries v4.37

No error is throw with:

\newthought{The \glsentrytext{ds}} of hair cells

\newthought{The \glsentryshort{ds}} of hair cells

\newthought{The \glsentrylong{ds}} of hair cells

\newthought{The \glsentryname{ds}} of hair cells

\newthought{The Directional Sensitivity} \gls{ds} of hair cells

However, no acronym is rendered from all examples except the last one (because it is outside \newthought.

But,

  • I need to use the \gls for the first time in \newthought, otherwise it mucks up later uses
  • I want to use \newthought to emphasise the new topic, e.g. Directional Sensitivity, which is best defined as an acronym
  • I want to use XeLaTeX for unicode support.

The output when using pdfLaTeX:

    Welcome to TeX.SX! I don't seem to get the error message. Can you please show what version of glossaries you're using? – egreg Apr 20 '18 at 10:57
  • It works fine for me with tufte-book v3.5.2 and glossaries v4.37. Can you add \listfiles to the start of the file and show the complete file list that appears at the end of the transcript. (Unrelated but \makeglossaries is best put before \newacronym.) – Nicola Talbot Apr 20 '18 at 22:28
  • It seems the problem is caused with switching to small caps. The same error can be reproduced with XeLaTeX and just \textsc{\gls{ds}}. There's a similar problem with \documentclass{tufte-book} \begin{document} \chapter{Sample}\label{sample} \textsc{\ref{sample}} \end{document} (but not if tufte-book is replaced with book). – Nicola Talbot Apr 20 '18 at 23:31
  • Ahh, thank you for the diagnosis. Do you have suggestions for a method around this, besides simply not using \gls and \newthoughttogether? I don't care if it doesn't link, just the text is fine. – statoconial membrane Apr 23 '18 at 01:31
  • It seems that tufte-book redefines \textsc to \sotextsc which seems to be using the soul package's letterspacing commands. This interferes with commands like \gls and \ref. So it's essentially the same problem as in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425432 – Nicola Talbot Apr 24 '18 at 23:12
