Good news: Handling fi, fl etc. ligatures can be solved with the new ICONV
feature of Hunspell 1.2.8 in the near future. But we need Unicode en_US
dictionary and extended word breaking (ligatures are not word characters in OOo
yet) to handle ligatures as word characters.
Milek: Thanks. The syntax is quite similar to your suggestion:
# input conversion
ICONV 2
ICONV fi fi
ICONV fl fl
Moreover, optionally you can also add the following lines to the affix file to
get suggestions with ligatures:
# output conversion
OCONV 2
OCONV fi fi
OCONV fl fl
It would be nice to make the OOo-typography extension:
- automatic ligature conversion by autocorrection (bug: autocorrection
decapitalizes capitalized not sentence-starting words)
- automatic/manual ligature conversion by a macro (after file loading, before
file saving or printing)
- extended hyphenation dictionary with non-standard hyphenation patterns to
hyphenate the words with ligatures (later we need to correct the hyphenator to
calculate precise character counts with ligatures, too)
- spelling dictionary with default ICONV and OCONV
We might have OpenOffice.org with this extension looking like a
semi-professional DTP program.
