I had only HEAD in mind; if nothing else because the changes are too
substantial to port.

We do not ligate when the ligature glyph is absent, so that should not
be happening any longer. I do suspect, however, that the Unix version
of doesGlyphExist() does not work properly, particularly in light of
#5805 and would appreciate if someone could look into that bug.
There is one other issue I am not entirely sure about, namely whether
being able to use the glyph on screen automatically means we can
print it, particularly when printing via PostScript or gnome print.
