Opentype ligatures #1

Closed blmayer closed 8 years ago

On the regular font the ligatures ct and st seen to be not working properly in the otf, at least in my Mac's font book. I can't see the arc between those letters. Plus, if you could add the long s symbol (old-style s) it will be great. Thanks for the great work.

You have to enable the DLIG feature to render them.

I've tried with +dlig and same result. The problem is that when I install the otf font the ligatures ct and st loose the arc, so they look like the regular ct and st. I don't now why this happens, but it does not with the ttf version. What about the long s?

It must be a problem on your end. Have you downloaded the fonts from this repository? If no please do so.

blmayer commented 8 years ago

From this repository. Yes, my guess is Apple's font installer fault. But this problem only happens with this font, that's why I contacted you.

Do you have the issue in TextEdit? If not then it is an issue with the particular application you are using.

blmayer commented 8 years ago

Tried, no ligatures.
