Yes,

special ligatures for tt, ft, and fft.

Extra kerning for ss, ch, sch, ck, gg, fb, fh, fk, gj, (j, f), »j,
f« (these are important because they are by default cut for french
«...» and not german »...«), \textsection n, :, ;, !, ? (extra left
side bearing), etc.

plus extras like pseudo-ligatures for Q+u -> Q-alt+u or ... ->
ellipsis, etc.

Ulrich Dirr
