Hi,
just by chance I experienced that there seems to be a problem with ligatures and hyphenation in ConTeXt.
This is the example:
\usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[mac] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt]
\starttext
Auflagen % the fl-ligature is wrong here
Auf-lagen % this is the right fl
Auf/lagen %this is the right fl

% the next wrong causes an error (but would be perfect: 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf"|lagen % this is used in (La)TeX, but doesn'T work in ConTeXt?!
\stoptext
What is needed is to ... 1) avoid the fl-ligature 2) preserve all the default hyphenation points
In TeX (or only LaTeX?) Auf"-lagen or Auf"|lagen would do this. But what is the equivalent in ConTeXt?

To be precise, make that Auf|-|lagen.

Just for the records:
One has to be careful with this kind of avoiding ligatures. In most cases it works perfect, but when the word moves towards the end of the line and should be broken then the hyphen misses!
But I guess there is no solution that fits *both* situations: regularly on a line and cross lines?

not yet, luatex will be more clever

No, unfortunately.
- also kills the other hyphenation points (or do you still get Aufla- gen?) The same with \kern0em.
So we have the choice between wrong ligatures and automatic hyphenation and avoided ligatures but only manually set hyphenations?
