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](http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_pt.htm#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:

```plaintext
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):

```plaintext
script latn {
  language LVI {
    feature RequiredLigatures;
  }
}

feature RequiredLigatures rlig {
  lookup RequiredLigatures;
}

lookup RequiredLigatures {
  <declarations here>
}

```
