Weird indeed ... The funny part is that I get two warnings (both of
them are my faut since I don't have those files):
pdfTeX warning: pdftex (file ec-urw-times.map): cannot open font map file
fonts : using map file: ec-urw-helvetica
pdfTeX warning: pdftex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file
fonts : using map file: original-youngryu-tx
and the output still looks fine (I get at least fi ligature, I'm not
sure about the others.).
It looks like a font problem to me, but not something that the user
could misconfigure. (Old or wrong font files perhaps? I really have no
clue.)
The garden doesn't use the standalone distribution (but a fraction of TeX Live).

I will try to investigate, but I don't promise anything. A quick
workaround would be to use TeX Gyre instead.
