I cannot think of a reason for not having ligatures except broken tfm/vf
files. Try this:

	   tftopl `kpsewhich --progname=pdfetex pplb8t.tfm` | grep 'LIG '

(you should have 2 times 15 hits)

If this works OK, then probably your vf is broken:

	   vftovp `kpsewhich  --progname=pdfetex pplb8t.vf` | grep 'LIG '

(you should also have 2 times 15 hits)

    Matthew> to change pdftex.conf?

No, I don't think so.
