where the text is simply "venezuela fixture exitoso". The bottom row shows the ligatures for "ez", "fix", "ex", "os" (it also shows terminal letters, but that's a different feature). |
Not sure if I would call those ligatures other than the fi pair. To me, they look more like kerning. However, the Kobo ereaders have some kerning support if the font supports it. Some fonts have excellent kerning support, others have minimal support.
BTW, the link you posted gives me a 404 error unless I manually add the .gif file name to the URL manually.
