Some, but a lot of western languages uses the same ligatures. If you add the ligatures to the selection and they do not exist in the source, they of course will not be added. There is only a limited set of ligatures anyway, so it is not that big a list. Adding them will however help in preventing question marks in the text..

True, but I don't do it with the finger of course, but by analyzing the text. It is usually quite fast, depending on the size of the source. To be honest I am thinking about removing this part, as it usually does not save as much space as the usual suspects are almost always there.
