Many thanks for the prompt reply! But this is exactly my question:: how do I
determine what are the "standard ligatures" in a font?It is not obvious
(especially for non-English languages), and they can also vary in each font.
Basically what I want to do is this:I can very quicky loop from 1-65535 and use
\iffontchar to test if a character exists in the font, and thus print all the
glyphs in the font as a table, for my information. I would like to add to this
a list of all the ligatures of the font.In the absence of any other ideas, I
can test every combination of pairs of glyphs, and then if the pair forms a
ligature, I want to print this. But I don't know how to test if 2 characters
will combine into a ligature. Thanks (I know I can use a font editor etc to
study the inside ligatures of the font, but this is difficult to print nicely
and I am trying to do this in Xe(la)TeX..After all, XeTeX should know this
information, No? . ) Am 14.3.2012 um 16:42 schrieb d fulano:
