    I am using a typeface with some lovely discretionary ligatures. My client loves them except one between s & p. Can i use GREP or something to remove it or deactivate it, but leave the others?

    Thank you……………………..liz

    Hi Liz,

    you can insert an non-joiner-character between s & p.

    Find what: (s)(p)
    Change to: $1~j$2

    or maybe the better idea:
    Find what: sp
    Change to: nothing + Change Format OpenType Features > Checkbox Discretionary Ligatures off (this can also applied by a character style!)

    best

    Thank you Kai that works.

    Is there a way of embedding this logic so that I don’t have to apply it over and over after editing. I know you can have GREP styles is there a similar feature that will apply a replace automatically when I type ‘sp’ and get the discretionary ligature I don’t want?

    Sure. Make a character style in which discretionary ligatures are turned off. Use a GREP style to apply the character style to sp.

    I used “st” instead because there was no “sp” in the placeholder text.
