New on CTAN: selnolig
by CTAN Announcements 28 May '13

28 May '13

Mico Loretan submitted the selnolig package. Summary description: Selective suppression of typographic ligatures for English and German texts License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word opt{shelfful}, which is mentioned in the TeXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelf/ful rather than as shel{ff}ul. For English and German language documents, the selnolig package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called common ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and~ffl ligatures as well as the ft and~fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression macros for a number of so-called discretionary or rare ligatures such as ct, st, and sp. The selnolig package requires use of the LuaLaTeX format provided by a recent TeX distribution such as TeXLive2012 or 2013 and MiKTeX2.9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/selnolig . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/selnolig (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
