In following this thread, I am trying to find where, in a non-plain text product, I have the ability to make two characters into a ligature or cursively connected. (The latter I guess I could do with a wholesale font change.) For example, I looked at Microsoft Word and found that I can make the text shimmer and sparkle and have either marching red or black ants (When will Unicode have characters to do those?) but I don't see how to control ligatures.
As someone who is not a high-end typographer, I don't recall ever having the ability to change ligaturing without replacing characters. I also do not ever recall having the need to, which I understand is part of the rationale for the Unicode policy. I am not trying to argue one way or the other. The discussion refers to other ways of influencing a font with respect to ligature and I don't recall ever seeing a way to do this. What kinds of products have these abilities? tex -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Tex Texin cell: +1 781 789 1898 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Xen Master http://www.i18nGuy.com XenCraft http://www.XenCraft.com Making e-Business Work Around the World -------------------------------------------------------------
