How to get the ligatures back in mkiv?

How to get the ligatures back in mkiv?

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

A while back, script=latn has been removed from features=default. It
was an extremely sad story, but at that time it was possible to
redefine it at least. Now I cannot make it work any more, or at least
I'm doing something fundamentally wrong, but I don't get the fi
ligature with the following code:

\definefontfeature
  [default]
  [script=latn,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes]
\definefontsynonym [Garamond-Roman] [AGaramondPro-Regular] [features=default]

I have switched to XeTeX for now (\font\a='Adobe Garamond Pro' at
15pt\a works OK), but that's not the solution.

MtxRun | current version: 2008.10.03 23:45

Help anyone?

Thanks a lot,
     Mojca

hm, this should work (at least it works here in the beta and luatex)

\starttext
     final
\stoptext

Black magick ... Ligatures work again without changing the source code
after updating to the tiny bit newer beta (I had an impression that I
did that before, but apparently I didn't). I do not understand the
reason, but ... let them live happily.

Thanks,
      Mojca

blame me
