Only mandatory ligatures (i.e. lam-alef) that are a fixed requirement of the script's shaping behavior would be expected to be preserved in letter-spaced text. We have the following text[1]: > When the effective letter-spacing between two characters is not zero (due to either justification or non-zero computed ‘letter-spacing’), user agents should not apply optional ligatures. I suppose this clarifies your concern, please let me know if not. [1] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text/#letter-spacing /koji
