It does. See attachment.

I faintly recall that this may be OS dependent (I'm running Linux).
But for your example I assume that the default font doesn't contain the 
ligatures (I had to select a different font to get that result).
Which would be a pity if it's correct.

Sorry, no idea, this isn't dependent on the used font on my system.
