Hi Dominik,

if you enter "o/" or "l/" in a standard textview then in certain
fonts (e.g. Chicago, Palatino, some version of the ProFont) it will

in the textstorage is still o/ or l/. I turned of ligatures, which
had no effect. So what exactly is this behaviour and how can i turn
it off?
Although it's not your question, the fact that Xcode does this makes
ProFont unusable. It also occurs with other pairs, like 'fi' and
'fl'. I have found that the TTF version of ProFont (for Windows) does
not have this behavior, so you can still code in that. (9pt ProFont
Mac is equivalent to 12pt ProFont Windows.)
If this character combining behavior is a bug in the font, then I
guess this is a fix. If it's a bug in the text system, it's a poor
work-around.
