 | | In writing and typography, a ligature occurs where two or more letterforms are written or printed as a unit. |
 | | Besides allocating a particular arrangement as a ligature, the relative location of the characters can be altered by kerning, something which has become easier with phototypesetting, and above all, with computer typography. |
 | | The fonts for both the Macintosh and Microsoft Windows-based computers include a "dotless 'i'", which (aside from its necessity in printing Turkish) facilitates kerning "fi" and "Ti" instead of using a ligature. |
