I must point out that for English (and a lot of other languages), the use of ZWJ to control ligation is considered improper. The ZWJ technique for requesting ligatures is intended to be limited to cases where the word is spelled incorrectly if *not* ligated (and similarly ZWNJ is intended to prevent ligature formation where that would make the word spelled incorrectly). The kind and degree of ligation in English is generally considered a sylistic issue and is best left to higher-level protocols. Thus saith Unicode 3.2. ========== John H.
