Richard,
FMP stores what it gets, it does not "make" ligatures, they come
from the outside.
What is the source of your text?
How does it get into FMP?
I bet "fi" and "fl" are ligatures before they get in FMP.
Nope. I type "f", followed by "i", and I get the "fi" ligature. Same
with "f" followed by "l". And I can't manually force them to revert
to separate characters.
It's kind of bizarre in a monospaced font to type a word with a
ligature in it, then see the flashing insertion point sitting out
there 1 space farther to the right of the last typed character than
it should be. Also makes it challenging to find the right place to
click when I want to edit text to the right of a ligature on a line.
That's why I'm still interested in any tips anyone has about how to
turn this feature off system wide. It seems to be a problem specific
to Macs, and maybe even to Mac OS 10.4, since I haven't heard of
anyone else complaining about it.
