    In German, there is no ligature allowed where a syllable break
    is possible. Cf., e. g.,
    <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligatur_(Typografie)#Anwendung_im_Deutschen>,
    <http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(typographie)#Alphabet_latin>,
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_ligature#Stylistic_ligatures>.
