I think the ConTeXt and LuaTeX people do not care too much about compatibility (which is the right thing IMO, we have to move forward). > and not everyone has an ffi-ligature on his/her keyboard. These typographic ligatures should still work. Only the ligatures that are input methods in disguise (for dashes, quotation marks etc.) should break. > I just tried ConTeXt, the ligatures there still work. Aha, it's not as easy as I thought. I just tested the following document with TeX Live 2011's ConTeXt: \usetypescriptfile[type-vista] \usetypescript[constantia] \setupbodyfont[constantia] \starttext --- — -- – `` “ '' ” fluffiest \stoptext The dash ligatures still work, the others don't. With Latin Modern, the typographic ligatures (fl, ffi) work as well. The quotation mark ligatures don't work in any font.
