Could anyone point me in the direction of a font (that I may already have
[Windows XP/Office Xp Pro]) that shows the way WPF can display font ligatures?



Thanks

The Palatino Linotype font, which comes with Windows, implements
ligatures. Filipe Fortes describes how it works on his blog:

Thanks for the info and the link.

the following

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/avalon/2005"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/xaml/2005">

<Button FontFamily="Palatino Linotype" FontSize="20" Padding="10"
Typography.StandardLigatures="false">

Effect
</Button>
</Page>

does not cause the 'ff' to be seperated and the
Typography.DiscretionaryLigatures="True" does not cause the ligature to
appear.

The version I have of palatino is 1.4 on XP, do i need the version installed
with Vista?

Using the Inline element causes

Can't specify an element of type System.Windows.Documents.Inline. Only
non-abstract types are allowed as elements. Line 8 Position 2

in Xamlpad.
