This sentence will likely fail to render... #271

...if written in Source Code Pro, at least.

Here's how it looks in Source Code Pro:

And here's how it looks in a normal font:

This has something to do with my editor rendering whitespace -- without the dot representing a space character, it renders fine:

Unfortunately I have no idea what character that is or how to reproduce it except with the "render whitespace" option.

In any case, turning the three characters l[dot]l into an unreadable one character wide script "H"-looking ligature seems like a bug. It doesn't occur with any other font I've tried. It still selects as three characters, takes three keypresses to go past, etc. In a monospace font this is especially weird; why are there any three-letter ligatures which are one letter wide? And more importantly, is there a way to disable this behavior somehow? Or a variant of Source Code Pro without this ligature?
