When two letters or glyphs are joined into one glyph as a ligature, is this glyph considered two letters or one, as letters on their own are considered words as D and S, when two letters are joined as one glyph, does this glyph have a name as dee and ess and is it considered a word?

    I really can't see how this is a question for English Language & Usage. Many or most of these ligatures aren't even seen in English. If there were a typography stack exchange you could ask there, but until then this question is so narrow in scope that it falls outside of our purview here.

  • Can you fix your sentence? It starts off meaningfully, but after the 2nd comma things get weird. How many questions are in this? Can you split up that run-on sentence?
