... so much about reading the documentation, that is available...
Sorry!

I have now built several custom tec-files (one for just two f- 
ligatures, one for all of them, &c.) and the results are just what I  
had hoped for - great!
Thanks for this hint!

I'd guess that this replacement is made before the actual  
typesetting, isn't it? Would my ligature-conversions affect babel's  
hyphenation then?

Kind regards,
Florian.
