moreover, making fonts with the help of a small script makes the job
of creating missing WLCY fonts very simple. :) so it could be done.
i have one question. WLCY fonts remove all ligatures but the following:
' ' => '' (quoteright quoteright -> quotedblright)
- - => endash
endash - => emdash
In WNCY fonts, there exists also the following non-letter ligatures:
[ [ => guillemotleft
] ] => guillemotright
(guillemets in WNCY fonts are also accessible via characters < and >
without ligatures; in other cyrillic font encodings, guillemets are
accessible via ligatures << and >>).
The question is: what one should do with guillemets in WLCY (and WL)
fonts:
* do not provide ligatures (as currently in WLCY), so the guillemets
are accessible only via characters < and > (and commands
\guillemotleft, \guillemotright)
* do not remove ligatures [[ and ]]
* remove ligatures [[ and ]], but add ligatures << and >> (so
guillemets will be accessible both as < > and << >>).
Best,
v.
