FF PicLig is a smart OpenType font that makes it possible to create symbols out of typed characters.
While OpenType's "discretionary ligatures" usually connect
two or more characters to create a typographic ligature, FF PicLig
uses this feature of the technology to combine several characters
into an icon, a "picture ligature. |

The animation on top should convey the functionality
of the font in applications which support OpenType's "discretionary
ligatures" (e.g. Adobe CS - InDesign CS, Photoshop CS, Illustrator
CS).
