the fl ligature is
probably a bad example. the fl ligature is an optional ligature and in
theory shouldn't be in the data, instead you should have the leter f
followed by the letter l. Its up to the font and font rendering system to
ligate the sequence for visual rendering if this type of ligation is
supported.

a better example may be the ae ligature which would
be an optional ligature in some languages and an actual alphabetic
character in other languages.
