> Can anyone explain how troff handles ligatures on plan9? 

nope...  but what you're seeing does indeed look look like a font
problem - peter-faces are shown instead of the correct characters, and
i get several error messages like this:

/386/bin/aux/tr2post: <stdin>:52 :WARNING: cannot find glyph, rune=0x46 stoken=<Fi> troff font R

which seems fairly clear.

someone out there should know how to substitute a more suitable font...
