Don't remember. This is hidden in the current implementation. Just a
moment (comment out reencoding, recompile)...

./dvipng warning: unable to set font encoding FT_ENCODING_ADOBE_CUSTOM for 
/sw/tex/teTeX/1.0/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmr8a.pfb

This is not a math font but urw times. The fallback to _STANDARD will
make ligatures disappear. The ligatures are present in the font, they
display fine when I use the proper reencoding.

If I use the TeX "standard" font cmr10 all is well, it accepts
FT_ENCODING_ADOBE_CUSTOM and the ligatures appear.
