Description Dominik Kopp 2018-04-16 21:03:44 UTC 
Description:
When you use fonts like
- Calibiri
- Dejavu Serif
- Source Sans Pro
which support opentype features like ligatures together with spacing then the result looks bad, because letters like ff are without spacing.

Proposal:
Disable ligatures when spacing is used.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose an Opentype font like Calibiri, Dejavu Serif or Source Sans Pro
2. Set letter spacing to 3.0 pt or more
3. Enter an example like "Schriftart" (because of ft)


Actual Results:  
All letters have spacing expect ft

Expected Results:
Space between f and t (=disable ligature)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Workaround:
add ":-liga" to the font name to manually disable ligatures.
