After seeing the result, it looks like InDesign removes the ligature from the font, but keeps the information that there's a ligature... As far as I know, ADE will only render a ligature if it exists in the font, i.e., if it is defined there; so the font output by InDesign has the definition of the ligature, but the glyph is blank (which is a stupid bug, if you ask me). A possible workaround, if you somehow want to keep the mangled font, would be to include the explicit ligature characters somewhere in the book (possibly where they are not visible), hopefully that will force InDesign to include the ligatures in the mangled font, but you'd need to check all available ligatures.
ADE 1.7 probably works fine because it doesn't try to render ligatures at all. |

I think the safest option is to replace the font, but I'll test your workaround out of curiosity when I get back to work Monday. Indesign CS 4 had a bug where it wouldn't include the font at all if it wasn't defined in a paragraph style, so we for instance included an empty paragraph styled with italic. This is probably a similar issue, although ADE 2.0 should've handled it gracefully. |

I know that types had different widths (m and l, for instance), but are you saying that the same type, ie an 'f', came in different widths? I still don't understand how you could make something like the ligature below width separate types? |

Be sure to include all existing ligatures that do not have a standad Unicode codepoint: ct, Th, fj...

For checking which ligatures are actually defined, I don't know if there's a better method, but I'd open the font in FontForge and look at the ligature tables. But FontForge is not very intuitive (and I'm no expert). |
