Research direction

Start by locating the transformation and tests for the font-variant-ligatures property, then reproduce the issue with the supplied CSS input. Done means the transformed output includes the expected font-feature-settings values while preserving font-variant-ligatures, with the regression covered by the relevant test suite.
