maybe the archaic st ligature is a precomposed but f f l i aren't done 
that way but by either kerning or replacement of individual glyphs + 
kerning (there are many methods for this) ... also, 'liga' might mean 
ligature but in practice is used for all kind of things ... in opentype 
'ligature substitution' is just a many-to-one replacement but that 
doesn't mean that 'liga' uses that ... welcome to the inconsistent open 
type mess
