I don't believe that English readers encountering an fb ligature in the middle of the compound word 'goofball'

That may be because english doesn't use word-concatenations the
way german do: words like "Krankenversischerungsbeitragserh�hungen"

become even more unreadable if you hide the in-word boundaries with
bad ligatures.
"Versischerung" sounds more like Schw�bisch... :-)
