Hi Barry, Could you E Mail me offf list and tell me what I have to do? Do I need to install something other than TEXShop or is the Latex already built in to Mac OS X?
Also, I E Mailed Apple Accessibility about that problem and someone very kindly explained what ligatures were although i can't remember. I think the work around for this problem is to put braces around the faulty ligatures.
