Add check that common ligatures are set up corrected

See original GitHub issue

Observed behaviour

Some fonts have common ligatures that are misplaced, in liga instead of dlig, and we can have a simple check for these common cases. (Eg https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1662)

Expected behaviour

Based on the current collection, we can likely do a statistical analysis of what the most common ligatures are in the latin-ext collection and give a recommendation for which OT feature tag they should be in (eg liga vs dlig vs clig etc)

yes, @laerm0. I will try to make these changes to the script and I will get back to you shortly with a new version that you can use for that purpose.

Hey @felipesanches

So I can handle https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1662, would it be possible to edit your script so that it outputs font names with their ligature features? Something like tab-/comma-separated text with a header field like fontname,liga,dlig,clig and then an x in the ligature columns so I can paste it into a spreadsheet?
