Sorry, I haven't followed this thread closely (so I have no idea if this has already been solved), but I had a similar symptom a while ago. It turned out that it was something with the default EC.enc that ships with tetex. Can you try to do the conversion again, this time using lm-ec.enc instead of EC.enc? I can send a longer explanation if that's of interest, but I found that it solved the problem in my case.
Thanks for that hint. There is no file lm-ec.enc in my installation, but ec-var-lm.enc. If I add a --variant=var-lm to the parameters for texfont (or alternatively create a symbolic link ec.ec -> ec-var-lm.enc in my private texmf tree), then the ligatures work correctly! Unfortunately, umlauts don't work anymore, both typed directly (�, �, �. �, ...) and with the TeX commands ("a, "o, "u, "s, ...). Did you have problems with umlauts as well using lm-ec.enc? Maybe I should try cork.enc (--encoding=cork) instead? The main reason I want to install the font with ec encoding is that I also want to use it under LaTeX with the T1 encoding.
