Aw: Re: Ligatures in the text

[Shay Riggs]

Hi Andreas et al,

A possible workaround, should you be looking for one, is to choose “Use
non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)” in document settings, and choose your
particular Palatino font variant from the Roman menu.

The default compiler appears to be XeTeX, but you can choose either “PDF
(LuaTeX)” or “PDF (XeTeX)” from Document Settings > Formats section should
you have a preference.

Beware that you lose some speed as these engines can be a little slower if
you’re using OpenType fonts.

Also, even though I’m pretty sure that Koma works fine with modern engines,
beware that I haven’t tested this beyond your MWE so YMMV :-)

Cheers
Shay
