Thank you for your reply, @Owen! The problem is that the bug affects my TTF fonts, too (including OTF). Maybe the option "Pair Kerning" disables the default kerning, but most of the fonts use the GPOS table for kern pairs and that can't be disabled... The alternative solution is to remove the kerning of each font with FontForge manually :D

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 -- 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
