I don't know.

Maybe. It might also depend on your locale. IIRC, there were reports
that 32bit vs. 64bit is an issue also.

I don't know, since I always compile from git directly, using my
GNU/Linux pango library (currently also compiled by myself from its
git repository).

Since my knowledge of SVG is zero, I can't even do an educated
guess...

BTW, using lilypond release/2.19.15-1-171-ge86b2ea together with pango
1.36.8-6-ga533850, LinLibertine_R.otf 5.3.0, and gs 9.15, ligatures
are displayed just fine on my 32bit PC.
