Re: Font Issue; characters not printed.

[Kale Good]

The not-appearing characters was a pdf view problem. The ligature isn't isn't, however. But the litagure issue is also non-essential for my purposes, so I can move forward from here. Thanks.

Maybe you have an issue with your PDF viewer?
I can see all 's' and don't notice any issue with 'z'.

I assume 'fl' and 'Th' should be ligatures?
I can't tell if 'fl' is a ligature ore not, but the 'Th' definitely
isn't.

What OS are you using?
AFAIK LilyPond doesn't use kerning on Windows, so it may be similar with
ligatures (I know that on Linux it uses ligatures because I actually
checked that yesterday (after I read that Sibelius 7 is so proud of even
using ligatures).
