Comment 25 for bug 37828

It seems that all the DejaVu people did is make the fi, ff etc. ligatures discretionary in version 2.5, which is not the way to go. These ligatures are, where available, mandatory for Latin-script typefaces. Discretionary is for fancy stuff like ct, st etc. ligatures.

Simos: What does James’s test page look like with the new DejaVu 2.5 fonts? Are the letter combinations in question not ligated at all (as I fear)?
