So that’s probably a matter of the font, not of its style - not every font 
defines ligatures, and the name „TakaoPGothic“ tells me its main focus would be 
Japanese (is this true?), so the designers probably didn’t put so much work in 
features of Latin script.

Would you care to try a different font?
