In Turkish and Azeri the sequences f - i and f - dotless i both occur,

use fi ligatures in which the dot on the i is lost or invisible, at
least where the second character is a dotted i. Has any thought been
given to this issue? Is it possible to block such ligation on a
language-dependent basis?
Isn't there a "Grapheme Disjoiner" format control character to force the
absence of a ligature like <fi>, i.e. <f, GDJ, i>?
Maybe, but it is hardly realistic to expect all existing Turkish and
Azeri text to be recoded to insert a character in the middle of each f -
i sequence.
