I'm sure that those who know better will give you more detail but
over the last 6 months there have been similar type questions about
ligatures, looking back over these threads they are always led back

Thanks, James.
Yes, I saw that thread and it's certainly related to what I'm looking
for ... but the font I've been using almost exclusively for the last
several years has all the glyphs and tables needed. In fact, I've
been using XeLaTeX with Lilypond successfully for all that time
(since about 2008). Only since I've obtained 2.13 did I notice the
change in font handling --- both a change in ligature use and optical
size selection. I'm also on the same OS since I began using Lilypond
and friends (Mac OS 10.4.11).
While the source code has not changed from 3 years ago (in the
example I sent last time) the results definitely have changed. Even
if I don't specify the font, the default font used by Lilypond no
longer renders the ligatures either --- although that used to work, too.
I've tried to go back to v. 2.12 and the problem is still there. I
can't get v. 2.11 to work since it complains about something in
lilypond-book and returns a "Child 11" or something like that ....
So, IF the engine now needs some explicit call to use ligatures as
before, does anyone know what that is?
