Ligature?
Quote The top line is a Syriac font. The text font is Baskerville. But what on earth is the bold font? Has anyone ever seen such a ligature?
For more information, see the message posted earlier elsewhere by a friend of mine: http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/forum/case/288951/

Je vous remercie cordialement; vous m'avez vraiment aidé!
Remarque: Dan X Solo n'a pas dessiner les ligatures dans sa version de Giraldon.
Claude, do you know if there is a Giraldon (under whatever name) around with these ligatures?

Chez Fonderies Deberny & Peignot, la ligature ffi est présente seulement dans le Giraldon Gras. 
Dunno Claude, but the fact that it doesn't appear on the print (thanks for the link) imho doesn't by definition mean that it was not part of the character set. Anyway, it is there now

It does not appear in the catalog of Deberny & Peignot.
Many thanks everybody, and especially Claude, for all your help and information! I am the friend that mfjbaasten mentioned. Great to see such excellent font forensics. Claude, may I ask where you found the picture of the bold ligatures in your comment #9?
