[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#882506: Bug#882506: fonts-noto-mono: glitch with "fi" and "fl" sequences

[Medical Wei]

Rather than saying it is a bug it is actually a ligature [1] feature to
squish texts together. There should be the software using the font to
disable the feature if you need alignment.

By the way, macOS font Monaco have the same behavior as far as I am aware.
