Another side note, this time really off-topic: WO> The word golden has also a connotation of classic and well thought of, as in WO> the world of songs, for example there was a television series on the German WO> television channel Sat-1 some years ago which had the title of something WO> like "Die goldene Hitparade der Volksmusik", though I may not have WO> remembered the title exactly, which had classic German volksmusik songs from WO> years ago. So, golden ligatures as a reference to the ligatures being from WO> days gone by and thought of with affection seemed appropriate.
You should probably choose a better reference example. Quite a lot of Germans are so hideously annoyed by Volksmusikhitparaden that using one as reference for something "classic and well thought of" might not really serve the purpose. Philipp
