I remember once seeing a presentation about someone making extensive use of ligatures to create a very realistic hand writing effect. I think it was that an "e", for example, would always look different depending on the preceding letter, even though it was not a real ligature case per say. It's a huge amount of work but I remember the results being very convincing.

Amy Goodchild has done some incredible work in this vein, involving pen plotters even. https://www.amygoodchild.com/blog/cursive-handwriting-in-jav...
