Just noticed that @mc_wiki's Garamontio font [https://codeberg.org/m-casanova/Garamontio] — which I already considered excellent — has ligatures for "f" followed by an accented "i". The attached image (1) shows the usual "f" and "i" with an acute accent (with the usual contextual substitution disabled), (2) the default Garamontio contextual substitution of the "f" glyph with a narrower one, and (3) the ligature provided by character variant cv51 (examples are magnified 10pt text).

Ligatures (or even contextual substitutions) for this situation are absent from a lot of commercial fonts — I had to create ligatures of my own for Minion 3. And Garamontio is free under the OFL — thank you @mc_wiki!

Making a font with 9,999 ligatures to display thirteenth-century monk numerals — Digital Seams

As the title implies, I just created a font that displays numbers in a compact format used by Cistercian monks . You can play with it on my demo site here :

Last but not least, some of the most extravagant #alternate shapes and #ligatures contained in the Luperca typeface aren't novelties, they're rather ancient shapes gathered from a variety of inscriptional sources, mainly intended to save #writing space. Sometimes, to find something new, you just have to look at the forgotten traces of the past. I hope that you liked this presentation! (6/6)

#Epstein #Death Scene CBS News’s #forensic review underscores same pattern: no #evidence markers no #fingerprint or #DNA work, multiple #ligatures photographed in different places, safe w labeled CDs documented but not seized, later missing minutes from surveillance footage.
