[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#420717: Ligature fi is wrong in iceweasel (firefox)

[Martin Bretschneider]

Package: ttf-dejavu
Version: 2.16-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

If the font "Deja Vu Sans" is used in Iceweasel (Firefox) in a text that 
is justified, the ligature "fi" (and mayby others) does not work. It 
seems that the letters after "fi" are move to the left and over 
the "fi" ligature.

See the attached image file for seeing the problem and the html file for 
testing.

Other combinations seems to work: Other font, other aligment, other 
browser... It is a quite strange bug and I recognized it by seeing
