		Since Apple's glyph substitutions can delete glyphs a contextual glyph substitution table can create two character ligatures (one glyph is converted to the ligature and the other is deleted), while OpenType tables can must use a ligature substitution to do this.

	\| TrueType \| Typophile
		TrueType is a digital type technology originaly developed by Sampo Kaasila of Apple Computer, whose remit was to create a custom technology so as to avoid paying royalty fees to use font technologies developed by other parties, as well as to solve some technical limitations of Adobe’s PostScript based Type 1 font format.
		A few years later the format was extended to support Unicode and more complex linguistic and typographic behaviours such as automatic ligature substitution and Indic vowel rearrangement.
		However the new extensions, called AAT (Apple Advanced Typography), were not licensed to Microsoft, who then set about creating their own extensions to TrueType (along with Adobe), which they called OpenType.
