I'm building a deck in my Mac version of PowerPoint, and using my brand's typeface called Prelo. Since my version of Prelo is in the OpenType (.otf) format, it supports ligatures. A ligature is a typographic feature where certain letters combine into each other, making one character. Like AE being rendered as Æ.

I love typography but I don't want PPT automatically making ligatures for me! I've attached a screencap of two probelmatic ligatures I'm getting now: "Th" and "ff."

Can anyone please tell me how to disable automatic ligatures?



Thanks!

Don't know on a mac but on a PC it's in font >> Advanced
Options are :
None
Standard
Standard & Contextual
Historical & Discretionary
All

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply- it's a relief to know that option is there, at least on a PC. I can't find Advanced font options on my Mac version, hmmm.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

Don't know if this will help but here's how to get there on a PC
