tex-text.map only provides for some punctuation marks. You can add these lines to your tex-text.map file (or use it as a base and name it something different, like tex-text-f.map). Semicolons are comment characters. Below, only fi and fl ligatures are active.
You'll need to run the file through teckitcompile.exe to generate the .tec that XeTeX uses. ;U+0066 U+0066 <> U+FB00 ; ff -> ff ligature U+0066 U+0069 <> U+FB01 ; fi -> fi ligature U+0066 U+006C <> U+FB02 ; fl -> fl ligature ;U+0066 U+0066 U+0069 <> U+FB03 ; ffi -> ffi ligature ;U+0066 U+0066 U+006C <> U+FB04 ; ffl -> ffl ligature On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 17:36, John Was <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello > > Forgive the puzzlement of a new recruit to FontForge (which is installed via > Cygwin on a Windows XP machine).
