Don't make IJ and ij standard ligatures. We actually don't use these in 
Dutch (they look ugly in a monospaced font), and in several cases it 
would be just wrong to use the ij ligature since it doesn't always 
represent the ij diphthong. People who speak other languages that 
happen to have words with "ij" (to hijack, un bijou, etc) won't be 
happy either :-)

If you want, you could still add it as a ligature for "i" + ZWJ + "j".

Do the other ligatures work normally? I can't get the normal "fi" 
ligatures to work either, and I have to insert them through the menu if 
I want them (so it probably just bypasses all OpenType rules)
