Thank you Hans, but I am suprised that it looked OK at your end.  At 
this end, and following your suggestion, all of the lines in the 
following example now display the correct ligatures, but in my earlier 
example, with no 'script=latn', only the first (Adobe Minion Pro) 
produced ligatures.  Are you able to explain why LuaTeX does the right 
thing with Adobe Minion Pro in the absence of a 'script=latn' but does 
not with the other three fonts tried ?

\ifcsname directlua\endcsname \input luaotfload.sty \fi

\font \bodyfont = "Minion Pro"
\centerline {\bodyfont Minion is a genuinely fit subject}
\font \bodyfont = "Adobe Caslon Pro:script=latn"
\centerline {\bodyfont Caslon is a genuinely fit subject}
\font \bodyfont = "Adobe Garamond Pro:script=latn"
\centerline {\bodyfont Garamond is a genuinely fit subject}
\font \bodyfont = "Garamond Premier Pro:script=latn"
\centerline {\bodyfont Garamond is a genuinely fit subject}
