If you can't control the fonts, it's a possible KOD. (Kiss O'Death). (We recently had an experience with a book showing up, with ligature issues, and I'm still yanking my hair out of my noggin.) We never make eBooks with ligatures, excepting fixed-layout. Period.

So how do you control ligatures? If I use a font that has ligatures, I get ligatures if the letter pair says to use a ligature in place of the letter pair.

It's that way for RMDSK and KFX.
