Created attachment 40537 [details] Example showing wrong ligatures being created when soft hyphens are used Ligatures created when the CSS "text-rendering" property is set to "geometricPrecision" can be prevented by soft hyphens. Its even worse if a font contains contextual forms. The ligature engine believes to be at a word boundary when seeing the soft hyphen and renders the form for e.g. a word end in the middle of the word. I attached an example file showing both problems.
