We wrote extensively about ligatures, pros and cons: https://berkeleygraphics.com/public-affairs/bulletins/BT-001...

Personally, I generally agree with you - ligatures add a layer of ambiguity. Toyed around with the idea of "precision ligatures", but it only works a subset of ligatures.

It's important to keep in mind that ligatures are at the presentation layer, i.e. when the glyphs are drawn. You can still copy and paste the text, underlying representation is still individual chars. Also, ligatures are optional, so why not; a lot of people love them.

Slightly off-topic, but why does your site not work in Russia? I'm currently in Russia visiting family, and need to turn a VPN on just for you, as anything else I use works perfectly fine. I sure hope it's not politics, because the last thing I need is fonts to be politically charged.
