Willi, thanks for being supportive. In the meantime, I have taken another step: by using tftopl, I produced a .pl-file of my font and edited it. I inserted a "LIGTABLE" with ligature (and kerning) information. After using pltotf and using the new .tfm, I had partial success: I get a lot of the ligatures I want! However, a few problems remain: 1) The "space"-glyph has vanished. I assume it must somehow have been mismapped. Does anybody have an idea how I could remap this?
TeX doesn't use a space glyph. Instead, there is a fontdimen space and there may be boundarychar kerns and ligatures to replace space kerns and -ligs. If you want more complete documentation: get a TeX source tree, run weave on pltotf.web or vptovf.web and compile the resulting TeX file. -- Siep Kroonenberg siep@elvenkind.com
