It appears that even a correctly filled-in ligature carets table only specifies horizontal positions (or, only vertical positions for vertical writing; but just one or the other) for the carets, so it wouldn't be much help for breaking up any ligatures that aren't purely horizontal or vertical. Such ligatures can occur even in English in some fonts; see, for instance, the FR ligature in Avant Garde, never mind all the horizontal but overlapping ones: http://www.fontshop.com/fonts/downloads/elsnerflake/avant_garde_gothic_alternative_ot/ I think that in general, doing things to just part of a ligature is something XeTeX should not attempt to support. -- Matthew Skala [email protected] People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
