Definitely. I would think "liga" is the least of your problems - `salt`, `swsh`, `smcp` and others would have a much bigger impact on units if they were applied, and some of the substitutions could be language dependent too. The metrics really have to be taken from the original glyph as specified by the `glyf` or `CFF` tables.
