Thank you very much, it works now.
Here’s* the converted German wordlist from the selnolig package, still in the "old" single word syntax.
I just \input it in my environment. I didn’t measure, but I don’t experience a delay - great!

I’ll also add a wiki page about ligatures.**

It’s now at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/b/be/nolig-german-wordlist.tex

I rejoiced too early:
While the ligature exception handling works with some of the default fonts (lm, termes, pagella), it fails with the Alegreya fonts that I’m using.
I’d be glad if someone (you?) could look into my attached typescript file or even try downloading the fonts* to check what’s going on.

The Brill fonts don’t work either (http://www.brill.com/about/brill-fonts).

Both Alegreya and Brill don’t replace the ligature with a single glyph,
but replace the first glyph (only, as far as I know).

I don’t know which is the way to solve it, but this might be the cause.

Just in case it helps,

Oh, yes. Thanks for the analysis. I get the startligature-f also on hyphenation, like in auf-fällig, so that the arc of the first f (that is supposed to touch the second) reaches over the hyphen.

forget about Algreya as it's a useless font ... it has no kerns, no 
ligatures, no features at all so the f an whatever follows will always 
touch or overlap due to the design

You need to define features before fonts get defined because we share 
font definitions and their features as much as possible

\startluacode
     fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
         name = "kernligatures",
         type = "kern",
         data = {
             f = { i = 50, l = 50 },
         }
     }
\stopluacode

\blockligatures[u:fl:a]

Now we can use them

\definefontfamily[mainfont][rm][Brill]
\definefontfamily[mainfont][tt][Dejavu]

\setupbodyfont[mainfont]

\definefontfeature[default:b][default][blockligatures=yes]
\definefontfeature[default:k][default][blockligatures=yes,kernligatures=yes]

\showfontkerns

\starttext

{\definedfont[Serif*default   @ 11pt]auflage}\par
{\definedfont[Serif*default:b @ 11pt]auflage}\par
{\definedfont[Serif*default:k @ 11pt]auflage}\par

\stoptext

so, you need to add a kern too because brill assumes ligatures to be applied

as usual with tex .. there's always a way out but not always a trivial 
one and of course all this gets forgotten and/or lost in the flood of 
solutions

In fact, the full version is a commercial typeface:
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/huertatipografica/alegreya-ht-pro/.

I wonder whether it makes sense to have a free font that only contains
the shapes and just nothing more.

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

I almost get it all ;-), but what is the "i" variable?

Setting different values or even removing doesn’t make any difference
(at least, that I notice).

Many thanks for your help again,

I can’t agree - it’s beautifully designed, and I can’t complain about its kerning. It also responds to tlig or liga features, even if they’re implemented as single (i.e. not ligature) glyphs (there are e.g. different f glyphs). Maybe it’s set up in a strange way, but I don’t think it’s that bad. Of course I don’t have your level of insight.

My problem with Alegreya’s *design* it just that it’s not very well suited for digital printing, it needs a high resolution to look good.

Thank you very much, that helps! I’m working on a set of exceptions...

It defines the kerning between f and i. I also added "f" and "b".

And after playing with the values and setting up exceptions I understand now why Hans hates the Alegreya font(s):
While the kerning works, the font still uses the long-arced f (that is meant for creating ligatures).

I still like the design, but will consider different fonts for upcoming books.

Many thanks for the replies, both Hans and Hraban.

I didn’t notice any change in my sample because I only tested the fl pair.

Many thanks for your help,

it's not too hard to make it work, see attached, but the new one is 
nicer because it permits more detailed control

in luametatex you can do things like

Au{\norightligaturing f}lage

that is: each character can have a set of options; ok, one can do that 
with attributes but that is less efficients options have been introduced 
for ligatures, kerns, expansion etc (you can diff the attached lmt file 
with the lua file of the same name to see the difference in approach

just lowercase will do

if you look at the example files you can see that there are pre/post 
snippets possibel so basically you can create something

pre [a|b|c] post

which saves some definitions (make we can have pre/post lists which will 
nicely explode into huge lists but memory is not the issue here)

while the replacement works by running over the node list, the second 
mechanism is using a callback at the hyphenation level (so per language) 
where each word is anyway checked against an exception list, so in 
addition that word can now be fed into a function and depending on 
outcome be fed back into the machinery

(there are trackers that give insight in the process)

ligature exceptions

[Thomas A. Schmitz via ntg-context]

Hi all,

just two quick questions: a couple of weeks ago, there was a long 
discussion on ligature exceptions in, e.g., German. Hans provided an 
elegant new mechanism (\startlanguageoptions). So my two questions:

1. Is the old mechanism (\replaceword[eg][Auflage][Au{fl}age]) now 
obsolete? I tried using it, but unwanted ligatures still occurred. If it 
is indeed deprecated, I'll add a note to the wiki (this would mean that 
the current texlive version does not have the new mechanism and the 
latest lmtx doesn't use the old one, so that's somewhat problematic).

2. Both mechanisms only work for complete words, is that right? So I 
can't just provide a pattern such as "uf|forder," I have to provide a 
full list with all inflected forms:

auf|fordern
auf|fordert
auf|fordernd
Auf|forderung
Auf|forderungen

and for 1-3 also the forms with a capital letter.

Thank you!

Thomas

Hans,

after updating to latest beta (from 2017.09.25 19:19 to 2017.09.28 10:07
[I didn’t realize that there was a newer beta yesterday]), it works.

Just in case it may be relevant, \blockligatures[u:fl:age] blocks
ligatures in auflegt and Aufl.

Minimal sample:

    \starttext
    \blockligatures[u:fl:age]

    \definefontfeature[default:b][default][blockligatures=yes]

    \setupbodyfont[times]\showfontkerns

    \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
        fl Auflage auflegt Aufl.

    \definedfont[Serif*default:b]
        fl Auflage auflegt Aufl.
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

do you indeed use the latest beta? anyway, the \replaceword mechanism is 
a bit more flexible and efficient

Herbert,

I overlooked that \blockligatures[u:fl:age, u:fl:eg] only works if there
is also a \blockligatures[fl].

Hans, is this a bug or is it intended?

Yes, today it works. Thank you! Didn’t change anything. Strange.

How do you catch "Aufl." (the abbreviation of Auflage),
  which is written _with_ a ligature?

Hi Hraban,

using latest beta (from 2017.09.25 19:19), the following sample works:

    \starttext
    \blockligatures[fi,ff] \blockligatures[fl]
    \blockligatures[u:fl:age, u:fl:eg]

    \definefontfeature[default:b][default][blockligatures=yes]

    \setupbodyfont[times]\showfontkerns

    \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
        fi ff fl Auflage auflegt

    \definedfont[Serif*default:b]
        fi ff fl Auflage auflegt
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

I'll add an extra (simple) definition format:

\replaceword [eka] [Au{fl}age Shiff{f}ahrt]

I leave it to others to collect (reasonable) lists of words. We can 
these to the distribution then.

Works here. You'll have to make a real example.

Thank you, I tried it, and while blocking ligatures generally works (\blockligatures[fl]), the selective blocking (\blockligatures[u:fl:age]) doesn’t change anything.
Do you have this only in your local version?

Thank you for the suggestion.
I tried

\replaceword[eka][Auflage][Au{fl}age]
\setreplacements[eka]

and even converted the german wordlist from the selnolig package, but it doesn’t help.
If I try
\replaceword[eka][Auflage][Au\noligature{fl}age]
I get a literal "Au noligature fl age" in my text.

Simply Au\noligature{fl}age doesn’t help either.

https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/luatex/latex/selnolig

is a selnolig.lua which could be used for a solution with context.
A list of all german words where a ligature should be suppressed
is also there.

in traditional tex hyphenation is integrated in the par builder which 
comes after ligaturing and kerning and tex only hyphenated where it 
'makes sense' and in the process (multi-pass, going into disc nodes) it 
will consult (deconstruct / reconstruct) ligatures and at that point 
it's not known that the input had a {}. Tricks like inserting something 
in between is also unreliable when done at the wrong time and it can 
also prevent for instance kerns of hyphenation.

Anyway, in addition to Thomas answer ... we already have this

\blockligatures[fi,ff] \blockligatures[fl]
\blockligatures[u:fl:age]

\definefontfeature[default:nolig][default][blockligatures=yes]

\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
     \definedfont[Serif*default:nolig]
     fi ff fl auflage
     \definedfont[Serif*default]
     fi ff fl auflage
\stopTEXpage

The \blockligatures[u:fl:age] is new and something of a joke experiment 
... I can probably come up with a real advanced and robust mechanism if 
motivated enough

This doesn't prevent the ligature:

\starttext

Auflage Auf{}lage Auf\/lage 

\stoptext

This also documented: "The most important change is that adding a
brace group in the middle of a word (like in of{}fice) does not
prevent ligature creation."

With pdftex it does avoid ligatures, but not reliably. There are
cases where the brace group disappear when pdftex tries out
hyphenation points.

There is a LuaLaTeX-package "selnolig" to achieve this goal. Its wordlists and rules could probably be adapted. There is also a thorough discussion of this challenge in the documentation.
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/selnolig

Best regards,
Florian

Re: ligature exceptions

[Tomas Hala]

Hi Hraban,

I am afraid that \/ will break not only the ligature but moreover
it will erase the possible breakpoint between f and l. 
From this point of view, Auf{}lage seems better.

General approach might be connected with font some features as Hans
shown at ConTeXt Meeting this year. 

I recorded this case into the list of things we have to keep in mind 
for testing of free fonts.

Best wishes,

Tomas

That's a nice idea.  If something like that existed, it could be used
to change 's' to 'ſ' in relevant places, too.
