    What about the arabic ligatures? Will they be ever supported?
    :-o
    What about hebrew alef-lamed ligature...?

    Just curious.

    (BTW, maybe something can be achieved using input methods more
    better. For example the '(' + 'c' + ')' => '(c)' stuf... This way
    you could always find a way to be able to input them as not ligatures
    as well... Maybe extending the standart IM would be the best.
    See gtk-im-extra.sourceforge.net -> the "Latin Extended" IM).
