You can use a feature file to define your own OpenType features that would only activates the ligatures of your choice and associate it with a name, say plig for "Peter's ligatures" (rlig is already used for "required ligatures" in scripts like Arabic, better not to overwrite it). See fonts/fea/context/texhistoric.fea in the ConTeXt distribution for how it's done for tlig (which is not a standard OpenType feature either). Send it to Hans when you're over, so that he can use it too because he's been traumatised by the st and ct ligatures :-) Arthur ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
