[XeTeX] Ligatures question

[Nicolas Vaughan]

I am typesetting a bilingual Latin-Spanish work. For the Latin, I am using
old-style ligatures ("st", "ct", etc.) and dypthong ligatures. I believe
they look beautiful---even in a modern edition.
I agree with Fr. Michael: of course not all combinations of "ae", "oe",
etc., are dypthongs.
