<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">I don't get the fi ligature
in my output. When I view Georgia in Character Map I can see the
ligature at address U+FB01. Is there any way to tell XeTeX where the
ligature is and make it use the glyph?</p>

Hi Matthew:<br>
<br>
To load the font, try:<br>
<br>
\usepackage{xltxtra} % this loads both fontspec & xunicode<br>
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}<br>
\setmainfont[Ligatures=Common]{Georgia}<br>
<br>
Also, I found the fi ligature is U+F001 ... but maybe Windows is
different.<br>
