Reply To: Turn on all Ligatures

Dwayne: the ultimate proof that InDesign does use True Ligatures, straight out of the font, is because we can make them :)

The ‘name’ of that single glyph is percent_O_F_F, and this is enough for InDesign to recognize and use it as a ligature. So the text string %OFF will be replaced with this one glyph. In addition, a good PDF reader such as Acrobat Pro is smart enough to recognize the name of that character as a ‘ligature name’, and so if you copy the text out of the PDF you get the original text back again.
