[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#552527: virt-manager: Menu shortcuts unusable in french due to ligatures used

[Vincent Hobeika]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.4-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

I second this request as menu shortcuts are unusable in french due to
the usage of stylistic ligatures[1]. One cannot type this kind of
keyboard shortcut even with the french dvorak layout named bépo, which
includes lots of typographic symbols.

I attach a screenshot where we can see the word "afficher" with the
ffi ligature underlined.

Best regards.
