Does it occur for all types of fonts? There is a known bug relating to OTF fonts. The related enhancement (to allow disabling of kerning for OTF) is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66818. Also note that GPOS kerning for OTF has evidently never been implemented: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46055 Ivan Ivanov wrote > I hate ligatures, too.

I am not sure that automatic ligature substitution can be turned off. Evidently some types of fonts have (during v4.0-4.1) not shown ligatures, despite there being ligature support in the font: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66916 Under v4.2 I find that ligature substitution is automatic and effective for both OTF and Graphite fonts. Not what you want to hear I know. ----- Best wishes, Owen. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Question-about-kerning-and-opentype-features-ligatures-tp4119284p4119345.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
