fi and fl ligatures #19

Closed inferno986return closed 1 year ago

I was looking at an SVG that had a dynamic font and noticed that the "ffi" letters in "traffic" were rendered in a completely different font.

Does Figtree support ligatures and if it doesn't, can it support the usual "fi" and "fl" letter groups?

Figtree doesn't have fi-ff-ffi-fl ligatures and I don't have any plans to add them.

(For context, many geometric sans serifs do away with these, and I don't see them as being of particular value. Worth noting that for Figtree, they'd be an especially big change, since the font name contains an "fi"!)
