Shouldn't dlig automatically be enabled under the "hebrew" feature set? In
font-pre.mkiv, hebrew inherits from semitic-complete, which sets dlig=yes.
Still, if I explicitly add dlig, as in the following example, things
change, but they still aren't right:
```
\starttypescriptcollection[keteryg]
\starttypescript[serif][keteryg]
\definefontsynonym[Serif][file:../fonts/KeterYG/KeterYG-Medium.ttf][features=hebrew]
% all the necessary Hebrew features, including dlig
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[keteryg]
\definetypeface[keteryg][rm][serif][keteryg][default]
\stoptypescript
\stoptypescriptcollection
%Set up the main font:
\setupbodyfont[keteryg]
%Set up right-to-left alignment:
\setupalign[r2l]
%Explicitly add dlig (in case it wasn't there already):
\definefontfeature[plus-dlig][dlig=yes]
\starttext
\addff{plus-dlig}
שֹׂבַע
עָשׂוֹר
קֹשֶׁט
שֹׁשַׁנִּים
עָשׂוֹר
מֹשֶׁה
שַׁלֹשׁ
\stoptext ``` In examples 1, 3, 4, and 6, the *holam *of the preceding
letter (which should have been stripped in the contextual substitution)
just seems to have been moved farther up. In fact, the output looks like it
would look if I turned off the reordercombining feature. (And indeed, if I
manually reorder the glyphs to the Hebrew Layout Intelligence order, then
the results look like they did when I just used the "hebrew" feature.)
I may have forgotten to attach the font file I was using for this test. If
that is the case, it is available at https://github.com/jjmccollum/Keter-YG.
