Please, all deities, nobody use that ST ligature. It's cute for about a millisecond and then it's annoying.

I checked just now and indeed that ligature has been supressed in the recent versions of TeXmacs. :)

It was never the default. You don't get them unless you specifically ask for them.

No,in a previous version of TeXmacs they were active by default, we changed that now.

It is not Linux Libertine, it is Biolinum, which happens to come packaged with Libertine. Libertine is a serif font in the Caslon penumbra.

The author turned on the "st" elective ligature, but not the "ct", which is entirely why it looks odd.

You don't get those ligatures without specifically asking for them. It must be said that the Libertine ones look better.
