    _required_ not for latin, but for Arabic or Indian. Those languages
    become almost unreadable without ligatures, and they using hundreds and
    thousands of them.
    So this problem solved, it is very easy to additionaly support the few
    handful of latin ligatures, isn't it?

    Best Regards.
