@Kovid:
No interest in arguing with you, at all, as I defer completely to your abilities, but they weren't preserved
as a matter of course. Presumably, you mean that if ligatures are used, they are preserved--which makes perfect sense. The whole issue at Amazon was that we did not use ligatures, and thus, they weren't preserved in the subsetting--and needed to be. Thus, FS works better for me and my company, because we can preserve them
particularly when not used, just in case Amazon bones us again. :-)
@Roger: Well, it's your tool, and I'm glad it works for you. I don't have the luxury, obviously, of determining where our books will be used/read/uploaded, etc. so I have to prepare for even the weirdest contingencies, as described.
