  FAQ - Ligatures, Digraphs and Presentation Forms
Ligaturing is a behavior encoded in fonts: if a modern font is asked to display "h" followed by "r", and the font has an "hr" ligature in it, it can display the ligature.
No, the "ct" ligature is another example of a ligature of Latin letters commonly seen in older type styles.
As for the case of the "hr" ligature, display of a ligature is a matter for font design, and does not require separate encoding of a character for the ligature.

 Ligature Schmigature - www.will-harris.com
Ligatures (special combined characters, "fi" "fl" "ff" and "ffi" being the most common) were originally created for two reasons.
However--the ligature is really not necessary or important because the "f" and the "i" don't collide in either the Roman or the Italic.
The f and i are in no danger of collision, and the "fi" ligature not only merges the two for no good reason, it pulls the top of the "f" over the right (where it wasn't before) and keeps the dot on the "i" which just ends up making the thing look crowded.

I use the ligature knot exclusively to attach tippets to leaders.

Multiple character codes cannot be mapped to a single glyph, as needed for ligature glyphs, and multiple glyphs cannot be mapped to a single character code, as needed to decompose a ligature into its component glyphs.
For each ligature in the set, a Ligature table specifies the GlyphID of the output ligature glyph (LigGlyph); a count of the total number of component glyphs in the ligature, including the first component (CompCount); and an array of GlyphIDs for the components (Component).
The SubstLookupRecord defined for the ligature substitution specifies the SequenceIndex as position 1, which is the position of the first-glyph component in the ligature string.
