It's a small but annoying bug.

Below is a video demonstrating the problem:

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean. You're enabling hlig, not dlig, and (apparently) typing one character, which would not ligature anyway. What are dnom and frac (normally not used together) all about? What are you expecting to see (and what is the difference from what you're actually seeing)?

Yes! My was a typo. Here some screenshots Schermata del 2023-10-15 19-28-20 Schermata del 2023-10-15 19-28-35 Please, take a look at how the font name is displayed

Oh! Yes, that looks very strange! But it's just LibreOffice applying selected OpenType features to the display of the font name and the style names, which double (oddly) as previews. Not a bug in either Junicode or LibreOffice, but just the way LibreOffice has chosen to do things. Here's my copy doing the same thing:

It's even weirder if I turn on Latin-to-Gothic transliteration:

I can't see a way to turn off this feature in the LibreOffice preferences (admittedly I just skimmed them). Perhaps you could lobby the LibreOffice team for a way to turn it off.

It's true: I hadn't thought of that! You can close this report! Many thanks!

Not in preferences, but in

Cool! How did I overlook that all this time?
