John,

When you created the f_f_l and so forth in FontForge, did mark them as ligatures and indicate the correct number of components? (Characters in OT are classified as simple, ligatures, marks, components and something else I forget at the moment; ligatures also receive a value of 2, 3, etc. depending on the number of pieces that make them up.) FontForge should provide a way to categorize the characters correctly; if you don't, it probably assumes 'simple' and things won't work right.

Dear David

Many thanks. That looks exactly how I would expect it to be - though I am obviously not quite umderstanding what fontforge want me to do to get liga to work. I will keep at it and no doubt the penny will drop eventually.

Best wishes


John
