It's true that æ and œ are now unusual in English. But these are only ever displayed if they are entered as the ligature character. It's not correct for software to display every 'ae' as æ.

But the much more common ff, fl, fi, ffi and ffl should be displayed whenever they occur in text for good looking typography.
