Unfortunately, this is currently beyond our control.  What you see is
the default rendering with the pango library.  Right now, lilypond
lacks a font interface to control OpenType features.

Note it seems that there are also bugs in Pango that prevent correct
ligature rendering in general, cf.

We would need a Windows developer to debug that...
