Hi all,

How can I add the so-called « historic ligatures », such as in st, ct, to a font (assuming it has that feature)?

For instance

\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]

\starttext

construction

\stoptext

does not show the historic ligature in « st » and in « ct »: how can I get them?

For these your font needs the hlig feature, which Lucida doesn't seem to have. $ otfinfo -f "$(mtxrun --find-file LucidaBrightOT.otf)" liga Standard Ligatures mark Mark Positioning mkmk Mark to Mark Positioning onum Oldstyle Figures smcp Small Capitals Cheers, Henri
