Unless my launchpad or savannah credentials will work there, I'm afraid
I can't. I've got credentials coming out of my ears for open source bug
tracking systems.

Also I've discovered that it is possible that a fix may be acceptable in
the font file instead. I'm not sure if a unicode implementation has to
support multiple redundant specials between printable glyphs and if not,
then ligature mappings for f -> WJ -> i, f -> WJ -> f, f -> WJ -> f ->
WJ -> i, etc will do the trick.

If this way of fixing it is just as correct, then all standard ubuntu
fonts should have all such mapping combinations. Note that things like
liga -> WJ -> ZWJ -> WJ -> ligb might also need mappings - I'm not
really sure about these more complex scenarios.

Especially, then, I don't want sign up to, and then duplicate the report
in, the Gnome bug tracker in case they just refer me to font projects
where I've then got to sign up and report the issue in heaven knows how
many more systems. Although I could email all these upstream players and
give them each the url to this bug.
