For example : oeuf (with ligature) but coexistence (without ligature). The number of words using the oe ligature in French is rather limited but some are used a lot. It would be nice to have a script adding the ligature for this limited set (oeil, oeuvre, soeur, boeuf, manoeuvre, coeur, choeur, voeu, moeurs, noeud)
