Perhaps a misunderstanding: *Of course* do the TeX Gyre fonts support
the `fi' ligature!  However, the glyph itself isn't called `fi' but
`f_i', following the recommendation of the Adobe Glyph List
convention.

Using *OpenType* TeX Gyre as a replacement for *Type 1* fonts simply
doesn't work in general.  If you want to use it as a replacement for
another OpenType font, the using software must be sophisticated enough
to derive everything in an OpenType-aware manner, this is, deriving
everything from the input character codes.  Most programs are too
dumb, however.
