My copy of Photoshop 7 has an interesting image in its (HTML format)
help file, page <1_16_4_13.html> on "Using ligatures and old style
numerals". It shows three examples of �Type with Ligatures option
unselected and selected�: "ct", "fi" and "fh".

The bad part of it is that the ligated characters shown (in the sencond
and third examples) seem to include a long "s" instead of an "f"...

Whoever made the image probably made a mistake; either that or the font used has faulty lookups. Photoshop 7 uses OpenType glyph substitution, so what you are seeing is not character mapping but glyph-space processing.

You need a good operator to make type. If it were a
DIY affair the caster would only run for about five
minutes before the DIYer burned his butt off.
