Yep, we deliberately didn't convert the full set of glyphs from each of the fonts we support, mostly just because it was quite laborious (not to mention CPU time-consuming) to generate our relatively small range of weights, sizes, and font families as-is, so missing ligatures are a known issue.

If it's really illegible, i wonder if there isn't some other rendering bug happening – we admittedly didn't do much testing other than Chrome/Safari/Firefox on latest macOS. And i've seen some pretty weird glitches with this kind of custom font, e.g., https://github.com/jdan/98.css/issues/13. If something is truly that broken feel free to hit us up at webmaster@ with a screenshot, we'd appreciate the bug reports!

Well, you don't need to do much for this, because there are only two ligatures that were commonly supported: 'fi' and 'fl'.

For the kerning, ok, that's more work...
