No eperts ligs in agaramond...

[Sebastian Ahrens]

Hi everybody,


Well after fiddling around for the last 6 days I am about to give up
installing Agaramond with the experts ligs; even though I followed Lars tip
and got me the original afm-files where the ligatures have their
charposition set correctly in the end I'll never get them in the vpl's.
Could somebody please have a look at the code-snipplets just to see whether
I made a stupid mistake there?


Thanks a lot for your patience and best regards

        
                Sebastian
