Does FontCreator 7 support an rlig table?

In the thread entitled Latvian in the Font Related Information section of this forum is the following post.

If the change to which those documents refer goes through, how would one make the characters work using FontCreator 7

Is it that one would need an OpenType font with an rlig table, or is some other method used?

Can FontCreator 7 support an rlig table please?

For the uninitiated, rlig is the OpenType feature tag for “Required Ligatures.”

I don’t think FontCreator Pro will have any problem with this — its much the same as Standard Ligatures.

This is supported:

script latn {
  feature RequiredLigatures;
}

feature RequiredLigatures rlig {
  lookup RequiredLigatures;
}

lookup RequiredLigatures {
  <declarations here>
}

to enable it only for a specific language (Latvian in this example):

script latn {
  language LVI {
    feature RequiredLigatures;
  }
}

feature RequiredLigatures rlig {
  lookup RequiredLigatures;
}

lookup RequiredLigatures {
  <declarations here>
}

Thank you to you both.
