Hi,
When we left the TeX back-end, some nice features were lost as well. An
example of this, is the typesetting of beautiful text that latex provides:
For example, "fi" is typeset in a slightly more typographically correct way
by latex than by lily >=2.6.
You are right. I had assumed that Pango deals with this, but that's not
the case. There is a patch for Pango pending, which will add this
functionality for OTF that have ligature tables.
See

I the meantime, you could write a function that replaces fl and friends
with appropriate UTF-8 sequences for the ligature glyphs. Unfortunately,
you will have to know which font contains which ligatures.
