I have a font named Berling containing fi and fl ligatures on glyph 109 and 110. How can I activate these with lualatex? For the moment I am trying:

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}
\setmainfont[ItalicFont={BerlIt}, Ligatures={Required}]{Berling}

Fi fi Fl fl \textit{Foo Fii fi}

\end{document}

But I get:

*************************************************
* fontspec warning: "icu-feature-not-exist-in-font"
* 
* OpenType feature 'Ligatures=Required' (+rlig) not available for font
* 'Berling' with script 'Latin' and language 'Default'.
*************************************************

enter image description here

EDIT: I have now also tried (and both with and without Script=Default)

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}
\setmainfont[ItalicFont={BerlIt}, Ligatures={Common, TeX}, Script=Default]{Berling}

Fi fi Fl fl \textit{Foo Fii fi}

\end{document}

  • Either the font does not have the features at all, or they are not registered for Latin script, try Script=Default, and see if it works. – خالد حسني Feb 17 '13 at 17:13

    Also do not use inputenc with lualatex/xelatex. These 2 already assume you use UTF-8 in your source. – ArTourter Feb 17 '13 at 17:39
  • Where did you get the font from? – egreg Feb 17 '13 at 18:43

    The f-ligatures are usually contained in the Common ligature group rather than in the Required ligature group. You may want to try the option Ligatures=Common or, better still, Ligatures={Common, TeX} when executing the \setmainfont instruction. – Mico Feb 17 '13 at 18:45
  • Sadly none of you suggestions made any difference. As for the font having the glyphs I have seen them myself with Font Book on my Mac and they are at location 109 and 110. @egreg: I got the font from my University. It has copyright: "Copyright (c) 1991 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved.Berling is a trademark of Verbum AB, Stockholm." Gonna update the example with my latest attempt based on your suggestions... – jonalv Feb 18 '13 at 09:16

Thanks to egregs help and this answer the I got the following solution which works for me:

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}
\setmainfont[ItalicFont={BerlIt}, FeatureFile=myligatures.fea]{Berling}

Fi fi Fl fl \textit{Foo Fii fi}

\end{document}

And the following feature file:

languagesystem DFLT dflt ;
languagesystem latn dflt ;
feature liga {
       sub f i by f_i ;
       sub f l by f_l ;
} liga ;

enter image description here

Now I am gonna take a last look at the glyphs in that file and see if there are any other ligatures worth using :)
