THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Removing @language attributes fixed the ligation. It does mean that the hyphenation will be incorrect, but that is arguably a lower priority. And now that I have a working example, I can try to build up from here to correct hyphenation. (It’s also possible the language attributes were being misapplied, or applied to widely. This will likely force a more accurate FO file.) Thanks again. I’ve been beating my head against the desk over this. I owe you a beverage of your choice! -e On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 9:50 AM, Glenn Adams <[email protected]> wrote: > Also, you might try leaving out any xml:lang or language attributes if you > still have problems. > > On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 10:41 AM, Erik Ogan <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Thanks for your quick response!
