Hi, I probably didn't mention this yet but the way to deal with ligature and kerning prevention in lmts is: whatever\par {\nokerning whatever}\par efficient ff fi\par {\noligaturing efficient ff fi}\par {\nokerning\noligaturing efficient ff fi}\par {e{\noligaturing ffi}cient}\par because this feature can be used local and because it actually has more granularity than advertised, I added this in the next version {ef{\noleftligaturing f}icient ff fi}\par {ef{\norightligaturing f}icient ff fi}\par (so, specific commands for left/right control). Or course one can wonder how useful it is, but because tex is all about control ...

Cool.
How is that related to \zwj and \zwnj?
By the way, the ligature suppression mechanism via \startexceptions is already implemented, correct? If yes, it should now be possible to convert the existing wordlists to the new format, right?
Best,
Denis

It isn't. It's one of the properties that gets assigned to glyphs so individual glyphs can be told either or not to kern, make ligatures, protrude, expand, tweak dimensions, etc. There is some more new glyph juggling, like \def\UnKernedTeX{T{\glyph xoffset -.2ex yoffset -.4ex `E}{\glyph xoffset -.4ex options "C0 `X}} \dorecurse{100}{ x \UnKernedTeX} as well as some scaling features. All to be applied and integrated in due time.

Maybe, but not (yet) on the agenda. My priority is now with some font stuff.
