Ligatures: fi fl ff ffi ffl. No other {\TeX} system in Windows can show {\it any\/} of the f-ligatures in an ordinary text font like Times-Roman. On the Macintosh, Textures can show the fi and fl ligatures but {\it not\/} the ff, ffi, and ffl ligatures. Newton's notation for derivatives needs `dotaccent' in the text font ($\dot{x}$). No other {\TeX} system in Windows can show this accent! Hence you have to use Leibnitz notation for derivatives. For composite characters based on the letter `i' you need to have `dotlessi' if you want other than the basic ones: \`\i \'\i \~\i \"\i \~\i. So you can't make \v\i \r\i \H\i \u\i in those system! Actually, in all other {\TeX} systems for Windows you can't get at the accents `caron' (\char20), `ring' (\char23), `hungarumlaut' (\char6), `breve' (\char21), `ogonek' (\char7) , `dotaccent' (\char5) anyway. Other {\TeX} systems for Windows can't access ready-made composites `Lslash' (\char128), `lslash' (\char144), `Zcaron' (\char141), `zcaron' (\char157). Other {\TeX} systems for Windows can't access some other glyphs in text fonts like `minus' (\char143) and `fraction' (\char9). % Some (15) other glyphs one might have wanted to see here: % Zcaron, zcaron, Lslash, lslash % dotlessi, caron, ring, dotaccent, hungarumlaut, breve, ogonek % fi, fl, fraction, minus. In addition Textures cannot access `Zcaron' (\char141), `zcaron' (\char157), `Yacute' (\char221), `yacute' (\char253), `Scaron' (\char138), `scaron' (\char154), `Eth' (\char208), `eth' (\char240), `Thorn' (\char222), `thorn' (\char254), `multiply' (\char215), `brokenbar' (\char166), `onequarter' (\char188), `onehalf' (\char189), `threequarters' (\char190), `onesuperior' (\char185), `twosuperior' (\char178), `threesuperior' (\char179) % Some (21) other glyphs one might have wanted to see here: % Zcaron, zcaron, Lslash, lslash, Yacute, yacute, Scaron, scaron % Eth, eth, Thorn, thorn, minus, multiply, brokenbar % onequarter, onehalf, threequarters, onesuperior, twosuperior, threesuperior \end
