User Guide

With OpenType fonts, when you choose Ligatures in the Character palette menu, InCopy produces any standard

ligature defined in the font, as determined by the font designer. However, some fonts include more ornate, optional

ligatures, which can be produced when you choose the Discretionary Ligatures command.
