See type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [LMRoman10-Regular] [file:lmroman10-regular] [features=default] features=default is defined in font-ini.tex: \definefontfeature [default] [liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes] % texligatures=yes,texquotes=yes tlig=yes is than mapped to \remapfontfeature tlig yes mapping=tlig Note that "mapping=tlig" replaces "mapping=tex-text" (maybe it might make sense to call it "mapping=tex-ligatures", I don't know which one sounds better), which replaces -- with endash, --- with emdash and ' with the proper apostrophe. The rest of sligtly weird "ligatures" from tex-text is not there. Mojca (I somehow still miss a sligtly more simple syntax for the whole typescript, but I have no idea what that could be.) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
