Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Ligatures.js version 1.0 as active, updated 13y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.1.

Overview

About this plugin

NOTE: This plugin has outlived its usefulness. You can use it if you need to support legacy browsers, but modern web sites should be using the text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; declaration in their CSS to encourage context-sensitive kerning and the use of ligatures.

js plugin for jQuery is an extremely lightweight tool automatically inserting ligatures in content where appropriate. Ligatures are glyphs that combine two letter forms into one for stylistic and legibility reasons.

Since it depends on fonts for ligature rendering, it’s limited to the four ligatures that are reliably supported: fi, fl, AE, and ae.

The configuration screen lets you pick which text on your site gets ligatures using CSS selectors. Use this plugin to enhance readability in headlines and flavor text on your site.
