Ligatures are sometimes substituted for character pairs based on the user's font selection in KFX format (Enhanced Typesetting). I do not know of any way for the publisher to control that. Since they do not occur for every font it appears that the KFX renderer is smart enough to recognize fonts that lack them.

Ligature substitution does not happen when reading in MOBI7 or KF8 format so it is not an issue for your dual MOBI.
