New issue 22240 by Cryptooctoploid: Ligature substitution not working
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22240

Chrome Version       : 4.0.212.0 (26435)
OS + version : Linux
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64-bit
window manager : Gnome

Behavior in Firefox 3.x,
What is the expected result?:

Firefox automatically substitutes certain character combinations
by their ligatures. For example "fl" is automatically rendered
as the fl ligature of the font (fi->fi-ligature, ffl, ffi, ...).

What happens instead?

No ligatures are rendered with Chrome.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot
and backtrace if possible.

I have attached two screenshots from the Atlantic website.
Notice how all ligatures are nicely rendered in Firefox;
the letter-spacing is also much better in general.
