This can be done in three ways: 1 Store ligating preference in the document 2 Store ligating preferences in the AbiWord preferences (must only affect *new* documents; existing documents should use the preference stored in the document) 3 On a case by case basis. E.g. the user right-clicks on a ligature and choses 'don't ligate', or selects a non-ligated character sequence (where ligating has been disabled and chooses 'ligate'). This can be done with zero-width joiners and non-joiners. See section 13.2 at <URL: http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr27/ >. > Note also that it will be > font-dependent.

Yes, a ligature glyph should of course *only* be displayed if it exists. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer
