No ligature on hyphenated words

Hello,

First of all, thanks for the much awaited release of Prince 7.0! Prince is really great.

I discovered a bug: hyphenated words (or words at the beginning of a line) do not contain opentype ligatures. Here is a test-case:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
  body {
    width: 10em;
    font: 16pt 'Arno Pro';
    hyphens: auto;
    font-variant: prince-opentype(dlig, liga);
    }
 p { text-align: justify }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p lang="fr">
Affiner, dictaphone, estival,
Affiner, dictaphone, estival,
Affiner, dictaphone, estival,
Affiner, dictaphone, estival,
Affiner, dictaphone, estival,
Affiner, dictaphone, estival.
</p>
</body>
</html>


And the result (the missing ligatures are underlined in red):

Good catch! At a guess it could be that hyphenation is introducing invisible hyphenation points between some characters, which is interfering with ligatures. I'll add this to the roadmap for the next release.
