Hi again,
Here's some more info I have gathered. If I haven't set the default font in
my config file, `M-x set-frame-font` only works if there's already an open
buffer in the frame. And if I visit a new file, the ligatures are rendered
broken again, although the font is the same. So I have to change the font
again.
