thinking of it: one reason why a general purpose word processor used by
people with no idea about things like ligatures, is that ligatures are
language dependent, something that is taken care of in opentype, which
makes me wonder how many users actually use those properties ... it
would make a nice thread to get some insight into these matters
(usefulness, demand for more control - like selectively turning them
