Hi all,
How can I add the so-called « historic ligatures », such as in st, ct, to a font (assuming it has that feature)?
For instance
\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]
\starttext
construction
\stoptext
does not show the historic ligature in « st » and in « ct »: how can I get them?
Best regards: OK

For these your font needs the hlig feature, which Lucida doesn't seem to have.
$ otfinfo -f "$(mtxrun --find-file LucidaBrightOT.otf)"
liga Standard Ligatures
mark Mark Positioning
mkmk Mark to Mark Positioning
onum Oldstyle Figures
smcp Small Capitals
Cheers, Henri

Some fonts have them in dlig.

Lucida is a rather modern font. It has ligature, some are language
dependent. But no historic ones. Btw, an interesting property of lucida
is that in needs no kerning which is quite an achievement.
