Ligatures are esthetically melded glyphs of characters which help
reading text much easier. There are many well-known and usual
ligatures in Latin languages like the ß
(from
ſ
+s
in German) or the æ
(from a
+e
in Danish).
But there are more ligatures, which are not commonly used and not provided in any font face on your computer.
Usually, all fonts which support selectable ligatures, will provide a list of default ligatures. Use this function to only apply these default ligatures to the selected text.
Note the different f
and the first i
in this
example, where ffi
is the ligature.
If you do not want any ligatures at all, use this function. In
this example, you see two identical f
and i
characters.
Sometimes the list of default ligatures differs from the complete list of ligatures provided by a font face. Then you can even get more ligatures by using this function.
