Example showing wrong ligatures being created when soft hyphens are used

Ligatures created when the CSS "text-rendering" property is set to
"geometricPrecision"  can be prevented by soft hyphens. Its even worse if a
font contains contextual forms. The ligature engine believes to be at a word
boundary when seeing the soft hyphen and renders the form for e.g. a word end
in the middle of the word. I attached an example file showing both problems.
