Changes to /f and /longs in italic fonts #180

/f and /longs:

f- and longs-ligatures

/longs

Some of Garamont's and Granjnon's italic longs have no bottom bow. Instead the stem descending the full descender depth is cut without any terminal feature like a bow or serif. For today's users this might look a bit weird, but it should be available as a character variant.
