>4. What is the future of handling latin ligatures with Unicode?

I hope that it will be as presented in N2141: On the need for a zero-width
ligator http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2141.pdf

Until that happens, people like you and me making Roman, Fraktur, or Gaelic
fonts (for the latter see http://www.egt.ie/celtscript) will continue to
have valid complaints about the Universal Character Set's support for
alphabetic scripts.

Unligated characters of the world, unite!
