There are millions of tex-documents, bib-files and other tex related files around all using -- and --- to get an endash and an emdash. Why should we setup defaults that breaks this input as soon as people try to convert a document to use xelatex or lualatex? Which user would say that it is an improvement that an input which previously gave an endash now prints --? Do you want to answer all the questions on tex.sx about how to activate the tlig again? -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ _______________________________________________ dev-luatex mailing list dev-luatex@ntg.nl https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dev-luatex
