[XeTeX] escaping \ and $

[Pablo Rodríguez]

For some strange reason, I get errors in the following file:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Gentium}
\begin{document}
Price 25\$\ or 25€. Romeo \&\ Juliet. Backslash (\\{})
\end{document}

'&' is escaped right, but '\' and '$' aren't.

Am I missing something or is it a bug in the Linux version?

Thanks,


Pablo
