Alright. When selecting the font, is this enough to make it work in
the document? Or should I use \setmainfont? Is there any place where I
need to add "Mapping=tex-text"? Blame my newbieness for not
understanding better. Sorry. Currently I have added \setmainfont at
the beginning of my document and to switch between fonts I am using
\setromanfont.

Alright, together with the other reactions it sounds safer to choose a
different font. Since it's for academic texts I don't want to use a
font that I haven't the proper license for. I found Linux Libertine to
be a great alternative.
Thank you,
