In German, it is considered correct to only use ligatures within one 
part of a compound word, but not across the parts. For example, in the 
same text, you would use the "fl" ligature in the word "fliegen" (to 
fly) and you would NOT use a ligature in the word "auflegen" (to put on, 
to lay sth on sth), since it's "auf+legen".
