as a side note (i can't see the proposed patch, so ignore this if the
patch does this already), but do be sure not to remove the lig glyphs
from the fonts, but rather just any gsub (or the like) features which
replace char sequences with the ligs.

ie, anything which replaces f i with ﬁ, etc, should go, but the ﬁ glyph,
the mapping from U+FB01 to that glyph, and so on for the others, should
all remain.
