I understood the requirement as being roughly "why not use ascii text in places where ascii text could suffice for conveying the content". So I was thinking of just using 'ff' , 'fi' and so on in place of 'ff' and so on in a font file heirarchy called "nolig". This directory heirarchy would "break" ligatures for all the latin characters. It may also be possible to ask TeX to avoid ligatures during its run. Another possibility is to check whether (X)HTML allows for "ALT" tags or some CSS statement which permits font/glyph substitution. Regards, Kapil. P.S. While trying to create the font files using the source I noticed that one needs the environment variable "extra_mem_top" to be set to about "100000" or so in order for TeX to run successfully with the htf source files. Is this how you run it? -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
