When I moved from pdftex-1.30.5-2.2 (from texlive-base-bin 2005.dfsg.2-10 on debian) to pdftex-1.40.1 suddenly ligatures in gentium exhibited erratic behavior: they appeared correctly (or, more accurately, the letters appeared, they did not look like a proper ligature) on screen in xpdf and acroread but did not print (there were just empty spaces). On windows, the fi, fl, and ff combinations made blanks, just as on the printer. Reverting to pdftex-1.30.5-2.2 corrected the problem. Gentium is from ttf-gentium 1.02-2 on debian and the typescript I use is below. Perhaps my poor typesetting knowledge has lead me wrong and the lack of true ligatures is the actual problem?
