That font was one of the fonts Yuri listed as having fi ligatures.  And
indeed: 

        <LigatureSubst index="0">
          <LigatureSet glyph="f">
            <Ligature components="l" glyph="fl"/>
            <Ligature components="i" glyph="fi"/>
          </LigatureSet>
        </LigatureSubst>

But HarfBuzz is still choosing not to use a ligature here, apparently,
for reasons that escape me.
