Ligatures and SmallCaps ?

RachelR

I’m working on a font that contains Smallcaps and a number of ligatures - fi fl ff ffi ffl ft fb fh fk fy ty.

When testing the font and selecting small caps some of the ligatures return to there small cap glyphs, but ligatures fi fl ff ffi ffl do not change.

Whats the normal practise for this situation - Is it best to create small cap versions of FI FL FF etc.

Also why do ligatures like ft fb change to the small cap glyphs but not fi fl ?

Rr.
