[XeTeX] Fontspec: Switching off a feature

[Florian Grammel]

Thanks all for your suggestions!

For some reason though, Khaled's approach doesn't seem to work: The \textnohist-command within \texthist doesn't seem to have any effect:

> \documentclass[12pt]{article}
> 
> \usepackage{fontspec}
> \setromanfont{Junicode}
> 
> \DeclareRobustCommand{\texthist}[1]{{\addfontfeature{Ligatures=Historical}#1}}
> \DeclareRobustCommand{\textnohist}[1]{{\addfontfeature{Ligatures=NoHistorical}#1}}
> 
> \begin{document}
> 
> oo
> \texthist{
> oo
> \textnohist{
> oo}
> oo}
> 
> \end{document}

I'm wondering whether this is a bug or a feature in fonspec...

Anyway -- for the time being, I'm happy to set up different font families.

Best regards
Florian.
