Hey everyone.

I have maybe a strange question.
At this time, I am working on my first font and I love this tool.

My question is. Can I create a special font for specific letter combination?
Let me give you an example. The most common letter combination's in the English language is es (used 13%).
So while there is a font for the letter "e" and "s" I want to create a specific design when "es" are used.

Maybe this is not something you can use in fonts but word processors?
I dont know. Hope someone has an answer.

Thanks everyone.

It seems you are talking about ligatures. You surely can create your own and add 'liga' feature to your OpenType font.
Although we do try to track bug reports in the forums,
a much more reliable route is to use our bug report
form at support.fontlab.com

if you need more help let me know
