Not as good as the new Cymru Wales Sans typeface which has created new letters for dd, ll, ch and ff which are considered to be single letters in Welsh.

Serif also helps make Welsh more readable...

Do those letters get written like that in written Welsh, or is it an invention of the font designers?

Ligatures are common when there are frequent letter combinations, and there are a few that are common place in Latin alphabets.

are some of them. But non-typical ones exist in typefaces with "difficult" combinations.
I think it is unfair to judge a specially commissioned Welsh font, for the Welsh assembly, to a general purpose Latin font (with Cyrillic and extended Latin glyphs) But there is nothing to stop the BBC asking Dalton Maag to add additional ligatures if these Welsh ligatures and digraphs become more common place.
There is a sort of row going on about the German alphabet, and if the long_s should have a specific uppercase glyph, called the Eszette. And German is a much more common language than Welsh.
