Hi,
I'm currently adding some otf-fonts (MinionPro,MyriadPro from
Designer8.2) to ConTeXt.
I use the following font feature for MinionPro:
\definefontfeature[minion]
[script=latn,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes,onum=yes]
Most ligature work with this setting, but
ch ck ct ij IJ sp ss st
do not. Also the ligatures for small caps (some are defined) do not
work at all.
Is there a way to manually select the ligatures of a font? I like to
activate the ch-,ch-ligatures (c_h E085, c_k E086), but not the too
playful ct-,sp-,st-ligatures. I can live without all this, but it
would be nice to use the possibilities of the font. Any hint is
welcome.
Greetings, Peter
From my understanding (which may or may not be right): Minion has the
dlig feature which you can turn on with dlig=yes, but that would
enable the st and ct-ligs as well, and a quick test seems to show that
there are no ch ck ij IJ or ss ligs. If you want to manually select, I
think the only way would be to use the font in node mode and write
lookup rules in a fea-file (yes, the one that Taco warned against on
the list this very morning).
Best
Thomas
