There is a related problem in connection with Norwegian typography: Most fonts include the 'fi' and 'ffi' ligatures, but I have never heard of a commercial font which includes the 'fj' ligature.
Using such a font, the word 'fire' (four) would be ligated correctly, while 'fjerde' (fourth) would not. And exactly what does the rendering of the 'international' loan-word /fjord/ look like in printed matter around the world? I regularly find it unligated in English and German reference works which have in other aspects virtually perfect typography. -Herman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > (2) The second problem involves nukta (U+093C).
