Hi all,

obsolete? I tried using it, but unwanted ligatures still occurred. If it

the current texlive version does not have the new mechanism and the
latest lmtx doesn't use the old one, so that's somewhat problematic).
it's not too hard to make it work, see attached, but the new one is
nicer because it permits more detailed control
in luametatex you can do things like
Au{\norightligaturing f}lage
that is: each character can have a set of options; ok, one can do that
with attributes but that is less efficients options have been introduced
for ligatures, kerns, expansion etc (you can diff the attached lmt file
with the lua file of the same name to see the difference in approach
2. Both mechanisms only work for complete words, is that right? So I
can't just provide a pattern such as "uf|forder," I have to provide a
full list with all inflected forms:
auf|fordern
auf|fordert
auf|fordernd
Auf|forderung
Auf|forderungen
and for 1-3 also the forms with a capital letter.
just lowercase will do
if you look at the example files you can see that there are pre/post
snippets possibel so basically you can create something
pre [a|b|c] post
which saves some definitions (make we can have pre/post lists which will
nicely explode into huge lists but memory is not the issue here)
while the replacement works by running over the node list, the second
mechanism is using a callback at the hyphenation level (so per language)
where each word is anyway checked against an exception list, so in
addition that word can now be fed into a function and depending on
outcome be fed back into the machinery
(there are trackers that give insight in the process)

It defines the kerning between f and i. I also added "f" and "b".
And after playing with the values and setting up exceptions I understand now
why Hans hates the Alegreya font(s):
While the kerning works, the font still uses the long-arced f (that is meant
for creating ligatures).
I still like the design, but will consider different fonts for upcoming books.

It also responds to tlig or liga features, even if they’re implemented as single (i.e. not ligature) glyphs (there are e.g. different f glyphs). Maybe it’s set up in a strange way, but I don’t think it’s that bad. Of course I don’t have your level of insight. My problem with Alegreya’s *design* it just that it’s not very well suited for digital printing, it needs a high resolution to look good.

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I almost get it all ;-), but what is the "i" variable?
Setting different values or even removing doesn’t make any difference
(at least, that I notice).
Many thanks for your help again,

You need to define features before fonts get defined because we share
font definitions and their features as much as possible
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "kernligatures",
type = "kern",
data = {
f = { i = 50, l = 50 },

so, you need to add a kern too because brill assumes ligatures to be applied
as usual with tex .. there's always a way out but not always a trivial
one and of course all this gets forgotten and/or lost in the flood of
solutions

Oh, yes. Thanks for the analysis. I get the startligature-f also on hyphenation, like in auf-fällig, so that the arc of the first f (that is supposed to touch the second) reaches over the hyphen.

While the ligature exception handling works with some of the default fonts (lm,

I’d be glad if someone (you?) could look into my attached typescript file or
even try downloading the fonts* to check what’s going on.

Works here. You'll have to make a real example.
I'll add an extra (simple) definition format:
\replaceword [eka] [Au{fl}age Shiff{f}ahrt]
I leave it to others to collect (reasonable) lists of words. We can
these to the distribution then.

https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/luatex/latex/selnolig
is a selnolig.lua which could be used for a solution with context.
A list of all german words where a ligature should be suppressed
is also there.

With pdftex it does avoid ligatures, but not reliably. There are

hyphenation points.
in traditional tex hyphenation is integrated in the par builder which
comes after ligaturing and kerning and tex only hyphenated where it
'makes sense' and in the process (multi-pass, going into disc nodes) it
will consult (deconstruct / reconstruct) ligatures and at that point
it's not known that the input had a {}. Tricks like inserting something
in between is also unreliable when done at the wrong time and it can
also prevent for instance kerns of hyphenation.
Anyway, in addition to Thomas answer ... we already have this

The \blockligatures[u:fl:age] is new and something of a joke experiment

motivated enough

Re: [NTG-context] ligature exceptions
Hi Hraban,
I am afraid that \/ will break not only the ligature but moreover
it will erase the possible breakpoint between f and l.
From this point of view, Auf{}lage seems better.
General approach might be connected with font some features as Hans
shown at ConTeXt Meeting this year.
I recorded this case into the list of things we have to keep in mind
for testing of free fonts.
Best wishes,
Tomas
