Bug Description
[ Description ]
When a document uses a Times font, the 'fi' ligature may not be displayed. The TeX Gyre Termes font is aliased to Times in fontconfig and does not display this correctly.
[ Development fix ]
Identical package uploaded to Utopic.
[ QA ]
Install fonts-texgyre, then download the PDF in comment #1 and check that 'file' is displayed incorrectly (no 'fi') before and correctly after.
[ Regression potential ]
Some files might display better with TeX Gyre Termes. Check a few Times documents to see that they are still okay.
[ Original description ]
The following pdf file does not display ligatures for "fi". Open the file and search for "file".

I have attached an image of the rendering of the file, showing the word "file", though not displaying "fi".
