Interesting. just as an experiment I used the Sigil subset plugin on my book, and all the ligs came out fine, and out of curiosity I then pulled those now-subset fonts out of my book and looked at them, and it seemed that the plugin did get rid of a lot of "extra" glyphs, but it did NOT get rid of any of my PUA characters (i.e. all my ligatures, etc.).

Were you using a different thing to subset your fonts?
