Historic ligatures with lucidaot

Historic ligatures with lucidaot

[Otared Kavian]

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.
