It’s the bells and whistles thing. I’m not sure yet if I want one glyph per combination or rather decompose the accented glyphs and use the mark to ligature lookup.

OK, but is there a way in LibreOffice Writer (current version is 4.2) to switch the ligatures off, for consistency? As far as I can see, your font uses OpenType, not Graphite. Or do I have to use U+200B (ZWNJ) between the characters as a workaround?

I think, U+200B is the only method in LO Writer at the moment. I hope, they’ll implement an interface for opentype features “soon” (monitor this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58941).

I recently left a comment on this bug about a possible way to implement advanced typographic features in an ODF extension using the CSS3 Fonts vocabulary. I emphasize the advantage of using a generalized vocabulary, as opposed to one which is OpenType-specific. However, for the particular case of EB Garamond, would the CSS3 Fonts terminology allow all complex combinations, or would one have to resort to the lower-level font-feature-settings
property?
In any case, if advanced typographic features are implemented in LibreOffice soon-ish, then a much bigger portion of my working life will be spent in LibO writing in EB Garamond! ;-)

I've been hoping for Open/Libre Office to implement OpenType support for years now … I hope it's finally going to happen. People's comments in the bug report seem quite optimistic that it can be done. Graphite is awesome, but it's by far not the industry standard.
