Sounds promising... > AFAIK you have to do some tweaking with LaTeX to access those font > features... No, you get f-Ligatures and em/en-dashes automatically. Moreover, there are some packages around that handle the other things, esp. for the Adobe Fonts. There are also some packages for nifty stuff like replacing e.g. an ff-Ligature with f-ff or ck with k-k (needed for german hyphenation).

My programming skills are weak, esp. Python, and I don't think this would be trivial since the specials are at different places in different fonts. But of course, such a script would be a good thing to have for the time being... ... any pro script-hacker interested? Robert
