But this is a point where the opinion of the >experts is not clear. See the thread "bug or feature? aer font >problems": since this effect does not show op with cmtt, it looks like the lmtt fonts indeed have a ligature, which makes them somehow incompatible; the reason why display verbatim goes ok, is that in that mode each character gets processed independently which prohibits lig building; the best solution would be a \noligs primitives (also handy for xml) an alternative is to have two tfm files, one for tt text with ligature building and one for verbatim, say: cmtt10.tfm cmtv10.tfm (cmvtt is already taken) let's see what Jacko says ...
