Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-5599:
--------------------------------------------
According to [wikipedia|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)] "ti"
isn't a common ligature, sort of surprise but now it is obvious why it is
missing in some fonts even if they support ligatures.
[Noto fonts|https://fonts.google.com/noto/fonts] might be a substitution for
Liberation Sans. They support ligatures but the "ti" is missing as well.

> I was able to successfully create PDFs with latin ligatures using the Calibri
> font (but not the Arial font, I think these aren't supported, although others
> are). I'm using a stripped down version of the GSUB worker for Bengali. It
> had one small flaw which I'll fix in a separate issue.
