More info: the map file which texfont produces references the newly
created tfm files. However, it looks to me as if there is no ligature
information in those files. The virtual font files do have ligature
info, and when I change my font declarations to use the vf files (for
example, "texnansi-sar" instead of "texnansi-raw-sar"), then Context
produces the ligatures properly. 

I'm not sure how that can be, because "texnansi-sar" is not even listed
in the map file.

Is there some automatic linkage between the tfm and vf files which I am
missing? Or should the map file reference the vf files directly?
