need some guru's help

[Sebastian Ahrens]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install the AdobeGaramond with Oldstyle-Figures and Expert
glyphs; I have chosen to simply use the BoldOsF, BoldItalicOsF and ItalicOsF
fonts and therefore only with the Roman fonts I have to do the exchange of
the digits. With my fontinst.tex file as below everything works fine, only
the ff, ffi and ffl ligatures are not getting found. In every vpl-file
fontinst is creating I find twice C f instead of the LIG entry. The
ligatures are in the pfb and afm files only the charcode is above D 256 and
in the afm file the lines start with C -1:

If I change that lines to "C 289 ; WX 558 ; N ff ; B -183 -246 955 715 ;"
etc. the result equals nothing. What did I miss with fontinst? Any
hints/help is appreciated


Thanks and best regards
