Fontforge shows no ligatures for Adobe Garamond; however, it does show ligatures for the Tallys fonts. So that probably explains why there are no ligatures.
However, the font has a lot of kerning pairs, but I don't seem to be able turn those on/off with the \definefontfeature directive as I could do in the Tallys font.
And back to the original problem, en dash, em dash, quotes that work in other fonts don't work here. I can use \emdash, \endash, \quotesingle, etc., but this creates more work when you get text from an author and is more prone to error.
So is this a font problem? Or is this something I'm doing wrong (and what)?
Give us more information, what format does your Garamond font has (type1, truetype or opentype). Have you tried to load the font without ConTeXts interface: \font\garamond="AGaramond-Regular:mapping=tex-text" \garamond fi ffi -- --- ``text'' fl \bye Can you try to test your typescript with MkIV if this makes a difference and finally, what is the output from "mtxrun --script fonts --list AGaramond* --info".
