Have you viewed documents that aren't set in Computer Modern or Lucida
Bright on a Macintosh running a recent version of Acrobat reader? In
my experience, that's the recipe for seeing missing ligatures and
other transposed characters.
LY1 certainly isn't a (complete) solution to buggy Macintosh Acrobat
reader behaviour though. (See my message (sent to the pdftex and
tex-fonts lists) on triggering bugs in the Macintosh Acrobat reader
for details on to fix one of those bugs for LY1, 8r, or any other
encoding.)
