Diacritic Ligature Maker

Glyphs
1

In the old glyphs there was a script called diacritic ligature maker (by @mekkablue ), but in the latest version, I can’t find it.

Is this now gone totally from your scripts or am I just missing something?

Cheers
Si

There should be an updated version in Filipe Negrão’s Scripts collection (under kerning → create_kerning_groups_for_ligatures), although I did not try it myself.

It probably survives as a GitHub gist somewhere.

But better create contextual alternates rather than actual ligatures. My experience was that the ligatures were always too many and most of them made no sense (e.g. Gaelic lenited f with an Esperanto circumflex).

Thanks, I have managed to get my ligatures down to just a handful, well, around 15 now. I just wanted to see how many ligatures your script generated to see if it was worth adding them.
