I am sorry to always contradict you but, in Italian, there always is an hyphenation point between two identical consonant letters. Nevertheless, Italian typography traditionally requires the "ff", "ffi" and "ffl" ligatures. BTW, this leads me to a horrible thought: would a shy hyphen between the two f's prevent the formation of the "ff" ligature? In this is the case, fonts might also need to have <f>+<shy>+<f>, <f>+<shy>+<f><i>, and <f>+<shy>+<f><l> into their ligature tables. _ Marco
