Dear Maintainer,
In the fonts-freefont-ttf package (20211204+svn4273-4), in the Bold Oblique
FreeSans font file only, ligatures tied to the lowercase letter F don't
activate when typed (examples: fi, fl, ff, etc). This is not an issue in the
other styles for FreeSans (Regular, Bold, and Regular Oblique).
I also tested with 20211204+svn4273-2 package on Debian Stable. The bug was
present in that package as well.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a program that supports ligatures.
2. Type "fl", "fi", "ff" into the program.
3. Change the font to FreeSans Bold Oblique in the program.
Expected result:
The font should use ligatures for fl, fi, ff, etc.
Actual result:
The ligatures programmed in the font tied to the lowercase F don't activate. If
you change to the other font styles (regular, oblique, or bold), the ligatures
work.
This bug also affects the fonts-freefont-otf_20211204+svn4273-4 package.
