    At least one bug report of a ligature OK on screen but won't print:
    http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5439#c8
    Bug 5578 reports that "fi" ligature is displayed correctly on screen but is not
    printed correctly on a Konica printer (this might be printer font substitution):
    "The font was Arial, 11 point. In the memo wherever the two
    character combination "fi" appeared, it was replaced with a dot. Some other
    character combinations also did this. In some cases, a character partially
    overprinted the preceding character."

    Cheers - Stephen.
