Apostrophe comma not shown when use Holden font

Fonts are loaded by default with Ligatures=TeX. This feature remaps ' into U+2019, but apparently the Holden font has no glyph at that slot. To the contrary, its apostrophe at the standard ASCII position is curly.

Just load the font without Ligatures=TeX.

I loaded it not as the main font and specified path and extension just to adapt to my setup (I surely don't want that font clobbering my system fonts ).

Apparently the mapping is not completely correct for this font. The log shows:

Missing character: There is no ’ in font [Holden.otf]/OT:mapping=tex-text;!

However, the character is present, as can be seen in FontForge:

FontForge shows the name of the character, "quotesingle". This can be used for the macro \XeTeXglyphindex to find the index number, which can be used to print the character:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Holden.otf}
\begin{document}
The apostrophe is at position: \the\XeTeXglyphindex"quotesingle"

Printed: \XeTeXglyph83
\end{document}

enter image description here

Note that here the .otf font is used, but it works the same for the .ttf version.

Applied to your MWE:

\node [Black] (text){Vaijan\XeTeXglyph83 s Honey};
