Does it occur for all types of fonts? There is a known bug relating to OTF
fonts. The related enhancement (to allow disabling of kerning for OTF) is
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66818. Also note that GPOS
kerning for OTF has evidently never been implemented:

I am not sure that automatic ligature substitution can be turned off.
Evidently some types of fonts have (during v4.0-4.1) not shown ligatures,
despite there being ligature support in the font:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66916 Under v4.2 I find that
ligature substitution is automatic and effective for both OTF and Graphite
fonts. Not what you want to hear I know.
