You've hit on it, Axel: I was just looking at a regular sized  
comparison, and couldn't see the difference at all; the Roman version  
is so obviously different that I assumed the sans version would be  
similarly different but it's not.

But looking at my included snippet from TextEdit, the ligatures do  
indeed show up, which is different from what Jan seems to have reported.
