When you're using this default feature than you don't need to repeat  
it, as in the next line.

The Ligatures=TeX option is only valid with LuaTeX. XeTeX should  
report an error here.

I presume that you are using here a font with glyphs in the  
Supplementary Multilingual Pane at U+12000 and above. This might cause  
problems. I'd recommend to develop a minimal example and test, by  
commenting/uncommenting code blocks, fonts and text set in these fonts.

Particularly then when some characters are not displayed in a PDF  
viewer try to use other PDF viewers as well. You could also try to  
extract text from the PDF file and check whether all fonts are  
actually embedded in the PDF file.
