Again this requires support baked into the font.
No mind-reading for me. I probably explained myself wrong, or we are talking about different things. What I wish is just support for the "liga" feature of OpenType (of course, support por "dlig", "calt", etc. would be a bonus). Displaying a glyph by using the &#xYYYY; code for it is not "ligature support" in my book.

Sure, it requires support in the font, my question was whether the Kobo can make use of what the font has to offer.
