As a workaround you can separate the two letters by putting something invisible between them or by wrapping one of them in an identity macro (returns it's argument unchanged).

Hello all!

I'm new to TeXmacs. Having recently installed and tried it on a few
documents, I have to say it's great! However there's one caveat that
stands out to me. I added some TrueType Fonts (TTF) to use in the
documents. They are handled well, but many of them have support for
some historical ligatures, and TeXmacs seems to use those by default.

Precisely, it happens with the letters “st”, which are always combined
into “st”. The fonts in question are: Linux Libertine [1], Libre
Baskerville [2], and Libre Caslon Text [3].

Is there any way I can turn certain ligatures off (or eventually on)?
I know there's such a possibility in TeX.

Thanks and regards
