You're right. But many of the professional font contain the "fi" 
ligature (as Unicode character U+FB03) with an extended "f" bar to the "i".

This would mean to shorten the bar of the second "f", as with normal 
width bar the distance to the "i" is too small.

Perhaps we could give it a try.

This would reduce the number of ligatures by far - perhaps this is 
right, didn't get into this matter so deep...
