Dear David
Yes - I'd worked that bit out. (But curiously, in Monotype Baskerville Open
Type, which I was looking at for comparison, the ligatures work perfectly
but are not identified by FontForge as ligatures in the look-up table.
However, I have only viewed Baskerville in FontForge and haven't done
anything with it - indeed, I presume I'm not supposed to.)

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
