Without actually consulting the code, I am pretty sure
there is no way to do this in Lout as it stands. However,
it should be quite easy to add a ken/nokern switch to
the style information, accessible e.g. like this:
nokern @Font Auflage
I will add this to my list of things to do for the next
release.
In pondering these questions please note two things:
Lout cannot store style information specific to just a part
of a word, and kerning does not apply across word
boundaries even when the words are immediately
adjacent. Thus in a word like Auflageflot it would
not be possible to kern one of the fl's and not the
other *and* have kerning all the way through. Sorry,
I meant ligature one fl and not the other.
