Well, a bit curious about it, I read on the subject, I found that there seems to be a distinction between different kinds of ligatures : typographic ligatures and linguistic ligatures.
If I understand correctly, Harfbuzz does the first kind, and I was talking about the second kind (thus my confusion).
I even read a bit about how TeX does ligatures, and I wish I didn't :) But maybe that's to be expected from a system usable in so many languages and writing systems.

Thanks for the note. Yes, you are spot on. I've worked on the typographic side so much that I have had forgotten that the term 'ligature' is used in other contexts too.
