[XeTeX] Times New Roman otf font Ligatures is not working

[Nannilam, Baskaran (TNQSoftware)]

Hi,

Ligature is working for me in Times New Roman, Just I modified the 
tex-text.map file and regenrated the tex-text.tec.

Below two lines add in the map file and regenrated the .tec file.

U+0066 U+0069 <> U+fb01 ; fi ligature
U+0066 U+006C <> U+fb02 ; fl ligature

In TeX file just call the fontspec command like that

    \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Times New Roman}

It will work.

Regards,
Baskaran. N.K.
