Automatic insertion of ligatures

edit

This should occur automatically depending on the font properties. For example, I checked the behaviour difference between Liberation Serif and TeX Gyre Termes. The former does not even include the required instructions to perform the substitution (maybe the font does not contain the ligature glyphs) while the latter does.

If automatic replacement does not occur although the ligature glyph is present in the font, you can:

• add custom replacement rules in Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoCorrect Options, Replace tab

  Replacement occurs while typing as soon as the sequence is recognised.

• or add an AutoText entry

  After typing the AutoText name, you must press F3 to cause the replacement to happen.
