Jonathan: Thank you very much for your reply.
I was using a font I customised myself (with Fontforge). An old document with these ligatures in it showed spaces where the ligatures used to be. Also, at “Insert special characters” the character set of this font was shown without these characters (but with spaces apparently reserved for them). I’ve just opened up the font and discovered, to my embarrassment, that the ligatures are at FB00 to FB04––not in the PUA, as I said, but in the old “alphabetical presentation forms” block, which was explicitly for ligatures before Opentype layout features were thought of (I think). Pending the availability of Opentype, I thought this would be the best place to put them. I also tested some commercial Truetype fonts that have ligatures in the same block, including Amasis, and the result was the same: just a space in the text, and no visible characters in “Insert special characters.” So a different problem, but a problem nevertheless, it seems. Thanks again for your help.
