Hi,
in German typography, ligatures are disabled at boundaries between what
used to be independent words (Wortfugen). Thusly, in a correct German
text, you'd find
Anflug (with fl-ligature) but
Auf|lage (without ligature).
I know that I can prevent a ligature with something like Auf\/lage or
even Auf|*|lage. However, I typeset from xml and would much rather have
a general solution so I can leave my generated xml files alone.
Something like a list where I could list "ligature exceptions" the way
we have a file with hyphenation exceptions. Is anything like this possible?
Thanks
Thomas
