And what about a ligature break?
A ligature break prevents a wrong ligature from being made.
a single quote followed by a double quote still looks bad,
it will look like a "triple quote". What he wants is text that
really looks like a single quote followed by a double quote.
That is achievable by putting a small space between the
single and the double quote.
This gets right automatically with the << style of quoting,
but not with the '' style of quoting.
Looking closer at this, I don't get an exact "triple quote".
The distance from the single quote to the double is slightly
larger than the distance between the two quotes in a double,
but this is so slight that it hardly is noticeable. So it seems that
the spacing mechanism works as expected, but the _font_
has bad kerning for this particular case. So perhaps lyx shouldn't
insert a thin space automatically, some fonts may do this
better already. We might want lyx to output ligature breaks
around single quotes though,to prevent unintended ligatures.
