      When an OpenType-SVG text-shape is expanded ("convert to curves"), it generates groups that has the SVG nested inside. This is the expected behaviour.

      With a many-to-one ligature, however, VectorStyler 1.2 expands the first glyph as the SVG, but reverts to the fall-back font outlines for the other glyphs:

      In this case, this results in dropping the color from hong4. The expectation is that whenever OT-SVG was expanded, it's the SVG that gets flattened.

      A video may demonstrate this better:

        @jkwchui Can you send me a VS file with that text (before expansion) using the font. I assume that this is the VF-Canto font.
