When enabling "justified paragraphs" in Wikipedia, I noticed that "fi" and "fl" ligatures looked wrong, the following characters overwrite it slightly. (attaching pictures to demonstrate) Note that this happens on: * Gentoo ~amd64 Firefox 2.0.0.7, pango 1.18.2, dejavu 2.20 * Ubuntu Gutsy x86, Firefox 2.0.0.6, pango 1.18.2, dejavu 2.19-1ubuntu2
Created attachment 11993 [details] f'd up "fi" ligature when using justified paragraphs in wikipedia
Created attachment 11994 [details] still justified, display is now correct when "fi" is highlighted during search
Created attachment 11995 [details] justification now disabled (align left), display is fine
I should add that stock Bitstream Vera Sans do not display this problem.
Thanks for the bug report but this isn't a DejaVu bug. It just happens that DejaVu fonts trigger the Firefox/Mozilla bug. Other fonts out there also have Latin ligatures, you can't expect them to remove ligatures just for a Mozilla bug. The bug has been fixed in Firefox 3.0, so just wait for that version. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/37828 (with a workaround for DejaVu 2.19) and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331716
