It may be useful to try this test to check whether empty elements are rendered by a particular reader. For the record, the Orizon (using Adobe) renders empty elements.

I don't understand this... do you mean you are entering the "ff" ligatures explictly (using the Unicode code points for them)? That's strongly not recommended, you should write "ff" as two separate letters, and let the renderer/font use the ligature if possible and available.

There shouldn't be any problem with those letters (originally ligatures, but now full-blown letters); æ, œ, ß, &... should be typed explicitly (what I said above referred to stylistic ligatures only).
