[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#882506: fonts-noto-mono: glitch with "fi" and "fl" sequences

[jnqnfe at gmail.com]

Package: fonts-noto-mono
Version: 20171026-2

The sequences "fi" and "fl" are displayed incorrectly with Noto Sans
Mono (working with size 11 here, pressed for time, can't remember if so
with other sizes).

Specifically, "f" followed by either "i" or "l" get squished together,
taking the width of a single character. Very annoying, not just
visually, but also aligning code to 80 chars.

Screenshot of "fi" sequence attached, since noticed "fl" also, have not
noticed any other sequences doing this. Have not noticed any other
fonts doing this. Happens both in gedit and libreoffice.

Working on a 3200x1800 HiDpi display in Gnome with scaling @ 2.
