Problem with ligatures

[melvin]

Hello,

I've created glyphs for the ligatures ffl, ffi, fl, fi, ff.

ffl = f_f_l
ffi = f_f_i
fi = f_l
fl = f_i
So far everything looks ok.





Now if I create the glyph for ff(f_f) the ffl(f_f_l) and ffi(f_f_i) ligatures stop working.



OpenType features are activated and the font is saved as .ttf

Any advice?

I am sorry - there is an error in the OpenType feature script for the Standard ligatures.

This is correct:

feature liga {
sub f f i by f_f_i;
sub f f l by f_f_l;
sub f i by f_i;
sub f l by f_l;
sub f f by f_f;
sub f j by f_j;
sub f b by f_b;
sub f h by f_h;
sub f k by f_k;
} liga;

ie ffi and ffl must be listed first, so that the ff is not substituted first.

This default script will be corrected in the next update. But you can just edit the script at present.

Ok, now everything works fine.

Thanks!
