Package: lcdf-typetools
Version: 2.14-1
Severity: wishlist
When using otftotfm with the --ligkern option (for example, --ligkern 'T
{L} h', to disable the T_h ligature), the current version will also
disable the "default ligatures" as defined by the program. The 'f'
ligatures are still enabled, but the en and em dash ligatures are not
present. In other words, with version 2.14, you can't disable the T_h
ligature without losing the -- and --- ligatures.
I contacted the upstream author on this issue and he wrote back:
This was known behavior. Otftotfm's "default ligatures", including
hyphen hyphen =: endash, are turned off when you give an explicit
ligature. But I decided that it was BAD behavior, and the new version
(2.22) will act as you expected.
So, this issue has been resolved upstream. An updated package would be
much appreciated.
Thanks,
