Using the 64 bit _linux_ version of 2.18.0-1 from lilypond.org i don't
get ligatures.
Using the 64 bit _mac OS X_ version of 2.17.97 from lilypond.org i
don't get ligatures.
Using the 32 bit _linux_ version of 2.18.0-1 from lilypond.org i DO
get ligatures.

I conclude: something regarding font handling is broken in the 64-bit
version. As there was a discussion sometime in the past couple of
weeks that the 64-bit version doesn't really offer any benefits, i'll
have to go that route for now and generate the final versions of the
scores on my linux box.

regards,
sb
