@ -413,5 +413,13 @@ Equality testing may contain a few nuances, though:
is true, but that subtle aspects of font drawing may be wrong, since
the underlying toolkit only gets a single letter at a time, instead
of the entire word (or sentence).
The most obvious way that this shows up is in the handling of ligatures.
For example, the letter combinations ``ff'' and ``fi'' and ``fl'' are
generally drawn intertwined when they appear together, and thus an ``f''
drawn separately from an ``i'' looks different than the ligature ``fi''.
For example, here is how 24 point Times font looks when the word ``difficult''
is drawn, first with ligatures and then without:
@centerline{@image["2htdp/scribblings/ligature.png"]}.
