Many thanks for the prompt reply!
But this is exactly my question:: how do I determine what are the "standard
ligatures" in a font?
It is not obvious (especially for non-English languages), and they can also
vary in each font.
Basically what I want to do is this:
I can very quicky loop from 1-65535 and use \iffontchar to test if a character
exists in the font,
and thus print all the glyphs in the font as a table, for my information.
I would like to add to this a list of all the ligatures of the font.
In the absence of any other ideas, I can test every combination of pairs of
glyphs,
and then if the pair forms a ligature, I want to print this.
But I don't know how to test if 2 characters will combine into a ligature.
Thanks
(I know I can use a font editor etc to study the inside ligatures of the font,
but
this is difficult to print nicely and I am trying to do this in Xe(la)TeX..
After all, XeTeX should know this information, No? . )
