Created attachment 82434 [details] Ligatures in LO Hello everybody, I'm running LO 4.0.2.2 and the only fonts that show ligatures "fi", "ff", "fl", "ffl", "ffi" are: - Linux Libertine G - Old Standard TT Fonts which display ligatures under XeLaTeX but don't do so on LO are: - Free Serif - DejaVu Serif - Linux Libertine O - Minion Pro See attachment Why this erratic behaviour?
Writer currenly supports only Graphite fonts for automatic ligatures. It should support OpenType ligatures, which are far more used.
OpenType ligatures for Latin and other simple scripts should work on Linux starting with 4.1, and they already work on Mac. Ligatures for complex scripts should work on all platforms already.

Same under v4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: aa0e3701aad1a8a955773e869d9a6b59eac51e72 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-08-10_07:00:01. Alessandro can you re-check using a more recent version? Status set to NEEDINFO. Please set back to NEW (or RESOLVED as required) once the request information is provided.
The bug remains under Windows only, as Khaled says this works both under Mac and Linux.
