Quoting Karl Berry on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742767
The problem is that the ligatures are named
f_i
Adobe wants it that way these days, as I understand it. (Personally I
think they were terribly wrong to try to change something so fundamental
but, surprisingly, they didn't ask me. :)
See section 6 (or search for ligature) in
http://sourceforge.net/adobe/aglfn/wiki/AGL%20Specification
(and probably other adobe documents too, that's just what I found first).
In practice, since rendering software is so random about it, perhaps
fonts should include ligatures under both names. Sigh.
