[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#824202: fonts-beteckna: ff ligature does not render

[Mike Miller]

Package: fonts-beteckna
Version: 0.4-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The BetecknaLowerCase font family appears to try to render two lowercase
‘f’ characters as a ligature ‘ff’. On my system, however, any two
consecutive lowercase ‘f’ characters renders as a blank. The actual
Unicode character U+FB00 appears correctly.

I know absolutely nothing about font file formats, but the attached
patch disables the ligature replacement and solves the issue for me.
