Add check that common ligatures are set up corrected
See original GitHub issueObserved behaviour
Some fonts have common ligatures that are misplaced, in liga
instead of dlig
, and we can have a simple check for these common cases. (Eg https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1662)
Expected behaviour
Based on the current collection, we can likely do a statistical analysis of what the most common ligatures are in the latin-ext
collection and give a recommendation for which OT feature tag they should be in (eg liga
vs dlig
vs clig
etc)

yes, @laerm0. I will try to make these changes to the script and I will get back to you shortly with a new version that you can use for that purpose.
Hey @felipesanches –
So I can handle https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1662, would it be possible to edit your script so that it outputs font names with their ligature features? Something like tab-/comma-separated text with a header field like
fontname,liga,dlig,clig
and then anx
in the ligature columns so I can paste it into a spreadsheet?
