How do I get ligatures in Google Font API to display in Google Chrome?

I'm using Google Font API to display my website logo. (See top of stolencamerafinder.com)

In Chrome the letters 'f' and 'i' appear seperately, but in FireFox, they are a nice joined ligature

How do I force Chrome to use the ligature?

If I use the ligature ascii character (fi) in the html then it doesn't use the font, it falls back to arial, yet the font (OFL Sorts Mill Goudy TT) must support that ligature since firefox displays it.

Update: I ended up ditching Google font API in favour of plain @font-face. More choice on fontsquirrel.com anyway.
