Research direction

Start by examining the ss09 ligature rendering shown in the two attached images and identify which display behavior is considered incorrect. The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points, so the project structure and font-generation workflow must be located first. Done means the ||= ligature no longer produces the confusing display, with the intended behavior confirmed.
