Couldn't one create that distinction by how one sets the text?
Directly input the unicode character for the diphthongs, while allowing the ligatures to be constructed by OpenType rules --- that way the diphthongs would be left alone in situations like this, while ligatures would never be made when not appropriate.
But then it would be a matter of the backend, not LuaTeX (except for \letterspacefont), right?
I thought this was the whole point behind the Unicode Consortium choosing not to allocate code points for ligatures.
what about U+FB03 for example? (LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI) Perhaps I misunderstood you. Patrick
