Academico does not have full ligatures like Nepomuk, so I can see the point in turning it off for some words (it looks a bit unbalanced);
TeX and InDesign;
and it can easily be changed to
with a command.
I prefer ligatures if the font supports it.
Times New Roman is not pretty in Dorico in this respect;
(but fine in TeX, well, it’s not using Times New Roman, but a custom, professional, version of TNR, which explains it…)
Bodoni (Henle house font?) in Dorico is on par with Academico;
The “Std” OpenType glyph set only contains the fi and fl ligatures. Fonts marked as “Pro” have a larger glyph set, which usually includes the ‘triple’ ligatures (as well as Eastern European characters and diacritics).
Open Source fonts tends to have larger glyphs set (often because they’ve been created by people whose languages weren’t well-served by Adobe/Monotype etc.)
From a quick look, Henle doesn’t seem to use ligatures at all in their new publications. I’m not sure that’s anything to emulate, though.
