I am not sure whether this feature is currently supported; if not, I'd like it to be. Although I have changed my default font to Times New Roman:dlig when I type 'fi', 'fl', etc. no ligatures are automatically created. An AskLibreOffice comment suggests it should work, but I can't get it to work.

Works for me in Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: e26d89371f0e4f41476c9a99be01d98dedb76776 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded and also in Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64) Build-ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: threaded Please add screenshot or PDF-Print of your result

In the PDF I can see the difference in your document, but I can't reproduce it. Perhaps somebody else can help. Additional information: When I open your document, I always get the following warning: "This document contains macros.Macros may contain viruses. Execution of macros is disabled due to the current macro security setting in Tools - Options - LibreOfficeDev - Security. Therefore, some functionality may not be available." I don't know, if you get a better result in a document without a macro. Are you still using LO 6.4.0.0? Please paste inormations from Help => About LibreOffice

Use OpenGL is off.

Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ? You can install it alongside the standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build
This still does not work. However, the desired behaviour can be obtained by using Autocorrect to replace .*.fi.* with the 'fi' ligature, and similarly for 'fl'.

The version is https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+log/a3c8ea5e644ca2fc04de9f01ba9f8ace47f520f0
I can't reproduce either on: Version: 7.0.6.2 (x64) Build ID: 144abb84a525d8e30c9dbbefa69cbbf2d8d4ae3b CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: en-AU (en_AU); UI: en-US Calc: threaded or: Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 67f2a99229101757af4f40118f4d3c83ba38648b CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-AU (en_AU); UI: en-US Calc: threaded mkassler, if you still see the issue in a recent version of LibreOffice, could you please share the whole of the version information that is in Help - About? There should be a button to copy all the information, so you can paste it here and we can learn more about what operating system version and system settings you use. It might give us more hints.
I have got around this problem by using AutoCorrect to replace 'fi' with a single-character ligature, etc.
