I don't think that a church secretary will even know what is a ligature. And we should ligate f and i together to get the best possible typographie. One possibility is to not do these ligatures at the editing stage, and to do them in printing, but then we lose WYSISYG... Cheers, -- Joaquin Cuenca Abela [EMAIL PROTECTED]
