This can be done in three ways:

1 Store ligating preference in the document
2 Store ligating preferences in the AbiWord preferences
  (must only affect *new* documents; existing documents
  should use the preference stored in the document)
3 On a case by case basis. E.g. the user right-clicks on
  a ligature and choses 'don't ligate', or selects a
  non-ligated character sequence (where ligating has been
  disabled and chooses 'ligate'). This can be done with
  zero-width joiners and non-joiners. See section 13.2

Yes, a ligature glyph should of course *only* be displayed if it
exists.
