I just want to see the use of diaereses come back for words like coöperate and reënter.

Depends on the font, really. It looks great in italics, especially when using a font that gives it a descender... looks more like the integral symbol than 'f'. It irks me, though, when fonts give ſ a half-crossbar in the roman. Fortunately, the monospace font I'm using when writing this reply doesn't do that, and it also gives ſ a sharper curve at the top left, so ſ and f look pretty distinct in it.
I want the ſt ligature to come back, though. It looks really slick.
