Yes, as I mentioned, that is the `correct' way, but unfortunately you
can't do that from within TeX, it would mean (for every font to be used
from dsssl) having a new set of font metrics (and most likely also a tex
virtual font) to be installed. This wouldn't really help to make jadetex
easy to install for people who don't really know tex.
(incidentally it was/is on etex's list of features under consideration
to be able to load a font but ignore the ligature table)
