Thanks for the nice feature. I tested it right away but found that ligatures
are prevented by soft hyphens. Its even worse if a font contains contextual
forms. The ligature engine believes to be at a word boundary when seeing the
soft hyphen and renders the form for e.g. a word end in the middle of the word. 
I attached an example file showing the problems.
