Dear community,
I'm producing a KOMA-script-book with LyX (V 2.3.5.2, on Windows 10) and
want create ligatures. The LyX-documentation says:
Dear Andreas,
If you are talking about the basic ff, fi, etc. ligatures, I am
surprised that you do not get them automatically. If so, could you send
a short example file that shows the issue?
For more complicated font-related, as Rich said, it is necessary to use
some explicit LaTeX commands.

/It is a typesetting practice to contract certain letters and print them
like one. /
/These combinations are called ligatures. Since LaTeX knows ligatures,
your documents written with LyX will have them too. /
My document has it not!
/Here are the possible ligatures ... But sometimes you don't want
ligatures in a word .../
And then it is explained the contrary: how to prevent ligatures in the text.
Please, could you help me in that case?
Cheers
Andreas
Setting the font to DejaVu (instead of Palatino) shows the ligatures.
Kornel
Same with changing to "default" font. Apparently there is a problem with
the way ligatures look in Palatino.
