Hello, (the Dutch team),

Is it possible to prevent the "IJ" ligature in ec encoding in LM fonts
in ConTeXt somehow (except with manual intervention in every word
containing IJ)? I checked the behaviour in LaTeX with
\usepackage[T1]{inputenc} with the default font (some kind of Type 1
CM, but not LM), but it seems that only LM changes I and J to a
ligature (grrr ...). With the font in LaTeX it works OK.

"pdftotext" only knows how to convert the LaTeX document properly.
With the document prepared by ConTeXt, it fails to recognize the
ligature properly (searching in Acrobat works however). Besides the
fact that I and J separately (without a ligature) look much better, at
least in Slovenian words.

Thanks,
    Mojca

If any expert for ligatures is reading this: is it fair that "ccaron"
+ "k" ("h") have negative kerning, while "c" + "b" has no kerning at
all? I guess that "ck" was made because of the Germans, but at the
same time I guess that they don't need "čk" at all and I have a
feeling that the caron almost "bumps" into the serif. I compared with
LaTeX, but that font uses a smaller caron. (Without EC encoding
there's no negative kerning after ccaron present anyway.)
