| Summary | 0001006: ffi ligature broken in DejaVu Serif | ||||
| Description | The default behaviour of the dejavu fonts does not appear to ligature ffi as a single glyph, but as ff and i. Have tried countless options of \feature to no avail. I don't think this is just me, because in the document <http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/fonts-mkiv.pdf> on page 7, the text following figure 1.1 claims that ffi has no dot, when it does. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Easy ------ \setupbodyfont[dejavu,1cm] \starttext office \stoptext ------ The above produces office with an ff and i, and not an ffi | ||||

I found this bug in the DejaVu font bug tracker (85574) but can't get an account to update there. Nevertheless, I have a working solution that I will log here in the hope that somehow it gets communicated. On my mac I open DejaVuSerif.sft with FontForge From menu select Element > Font info From side bar select Lookups Select 'liga' Standard Ligatures - Without dotless i click [UP] button to move it above 'liga' Standard Ligatures Click [OK] And compile the font. copied the font to /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/dejavu and now ffi ligatures work. |
