  I noticed that WP doesn’t support font ligation properties, such as

  font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;

  If added as style attributes, they simply get removed. Is this a WP or theme bug (Baskerville in my case), or on purpose?

  Font ligatures control is important because of the notorious webkit soft hyphen bug (that breaks hyphenation on mac platforms if there is a ligature nearby).

  Hi there,

  We only support the shorthand font-variants property. You can use that property to set a value for ligatures. See:
