Yeah, CFF is a different case. For example, the ATM driver on Windows translates OT-CFF class kerning to flat kerning behind the scenes (but only for pairs in WinANSI+MacRoman). I’d want to see (or hear of) it working in TTF to be sure….

OT kerning should work. See this test font: http://webfonts.info/wiki/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7
(But it was CFF though)

Does Firefox support class kerning for TTF, or only flat “kern” table kerning?

In order to control kerning and ligatures Mozilla introduced the CSS property text-rendering in Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3). See developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-rendering.

I’d like for Firefox to use more discretionary ligatures, particularly looped “sc” and “st”.

Those things cannot be on by default! We would need some CSS properties first, to control these OpenType feautures. So this should rather be proposed to those guys.

I’m sure I’m not alone in this. I’d like for Firefox to use more discretionary ligatures, particularly looped “sc” and “st”. In Libertine, these are grouped in “hlig”, where the regular ligatures are in “liga”. Can I persuade Firefox to use them? I would happily build Firefox (actually Iceweasel, on Debian) by myself, if necessary.

Hint?

FF3 RC3 == FF3 Final. So if it’s fixed in the final release it’s fixed in RC3. Since RC3 was only one bug fix (FF3 crashing a lot on the Mac) you can even say it was fixed in RC2. Mostly problems in FF have to do with a faulty profile or some extension messing up.
