In MkII, one can disable ligatures by inserting {} at the appropriate place. For example `self{}ish` disables the ligature between f and i. What is the equivalent way to disable ligatures in MkIV?
Inserting a empty box? self\null ish seems to work.
\null works but it disable hyphenation.
The "Unicode way" would be inserting U+200C (ZWNJ)
Thank you. This works perfectly.
Actually it does not. The word cannot hypenate wher \zwnj is inserted.
When you don’t mind the extra space you can use “|*|”.
This works well. But why is the * discretionary defined to insert the extra 0.05em space? (I can overwrite it in my document, but I just curious about the reason for the original definition). Aditya
