Idle thought. What's the maximum number of ligatures you can have in a font?

ASCII is 128 characters. 33 of them are for control, 1 for space.
That leaves 95 printable characters.
95^2 = 9,025 combinations of pairs of characters.

Most pixel fonts seem to use a fixed width per character.

Is there a #PixelFont which could use ligatures to make an even smaller display area?
