Hello, just wondering: how many ConTeXt-ers depend on ligatures such as: '' (double quote) and '' (two single quotes) -> right double quote `` -> left double quote ,, -> DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK or even more weird ones: !` -> inverted exclam ?` -> inverted question << -> LEFT POINTING GUILLEMET (never heard of that ligature)
-> RIGHT POINTING GUILLEMET
Some ligatures are handy indeed: -- -> endash --- -> emdash ' -> right single quote (I'm, isn't etc.) I'm posting that question to get some feedback about which ones are expected to work/are fundamental for XeTeX & LuaTeX, so that others might be dropped from default additional font features (for third-party fonts). (I'm thinking about replacing tex-text in XeTeX with something: - more minimalistic - compatible with mkiv. Of course, users are still free to provide "tex-text" mapping explicitely as it's probably going to hang aound forever, together with XeTeX itself.) Mojca
