GTK have been enabling ligatures and other default OpenType features

oh, I forgot, we also don't have proper cursor positions for ligatures
either!, that's another epic lack.
And do we have decent support to let the user specify where not to use
ligatures in the input? Or do users need to insert explicit U+200C ZWNJ
with their input method of choice?
(At least for German, where ligatures need to be broken quite
frequently, I generally don't understand the enthusiasm for
ligature-enabled fonts anyway, as in the hands of incompetent typists
they lead to more harm than good. What could probably help is to have
automated rules that tell the computer where to break ligatures, similar
to hyphenation rules.)
