Does this mean that it is indeed common practice to replace every last
occurrence of a character sequence be the corresponding ligature with
these fonts? At least in the german language, this would be desastrous:
there are many cases where character sequences occur but the ligature is
not allowed, e.g. if two words are combined into one, the last letter of
the first one does not form a ligature with the first letter of the
second even if such a ligature exists. Don't know about other languages,
though.
Cheers, Thomas
