losing ligatures when switching font series or color in the middle of a word


How to use fontspec with opentype fonts when ligatures are a separate fontHow to force use of a normal 's' and how to suppress ligatures when using Gothic font?Problem with r- ligatures in XeTeX (with the font Sanskrit 2003)













0















For pedagogical purposes, I would like to highlight some characters in a word, through bold or red color or whatever will work.



Because I use handwriting fonts (German Schulschriften wedn and French Cursive frcursive), I am bound to ligatures working well. Unfortunately, ligatures are blocked if you switch series or color in the middle of a word.



I would be happy with a XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX solution. If needed, also with a PDFLaTeX solution. And as said, any kind of highlighting would be fine.



Here the MWE:



documentclass[varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage[ngerman,frenchb]{babel}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
setmonofont[Scale=.75]{Linux Libertine Mono O}
setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Linux Biolinum O}
usepackage{wedn}
newcommand{schschrift}{selectlanguage{ngerman} wednupshape}
usepackage{frcursive}
usepackage{xcolor}

begin{document}
newcommand{fex}[3]{#1textbf{#2}#3}
% renewcommand{fex}[3]{#1{bfseries #2}#3}

{
schschrift
fex{W}{ö}{rter} -- Wörter
}
{
cursive
fex{incr}{oy}{able} -- incroyable
}

renewcommand{fex}[3]{#1textcolor{red}{#2}#3}

{
schschrift
fex{W}{ö}{rter} -- Wörter
}
{
cursive
fex{incr}{oy}{able} -- incroyable
}

renewcommand{fex}[3]{#1#2#3}

{
schschrift
fex{W}{ö}{rter} -- Wörter
}
{
cursive
fex{incr}{oy}{able} -- incroyable
}
end{document}


You can see that, in the first 2 lines, W and ö don't bind well, as well as the r and o + y and a, when put in bold or in red. Compare to the non-highlighted versions.
