If you’ve been following me for more than a little while you likely know I’ve written multiple posts about fonts. And in at least two posts I’ve talked about glyphs. Well, the other day I had a revelation of sorts. Other than the post in which I was complaining about “missing” glyphs, I’ve never really talked about how to use all those fancy ligatures.
