fìfàfèfĩfǐfǎfěfǒ Arguably these aren't extremely common pairs—fà fè fò fǎ fě fǒ occur in pinyin which is where I noticed it—but e.g. fè occurs also in French. All these pairs have the same problem in italic too.

（Being poor at English…） 如果问题仅限拼音（pinyin），我刚好打算另作一个拼音用途的“Fangsong-Alegreya”，但是你觉得这种情况应该怎么处理？

你觉得这种情况应该怎么处理？

I'm not an expert so I can't tell what would be the most typographically sound solution. One technique I've seen in many fonts (e.g. Junicode, Linux Libertine, Vollkorn) is to introduce an alternative “short f” glyph to use in sequences like these.

前述拼音字体我已经发布了，下载见上👆 ~好消息，Alegreya源文件里内置了半个“短头f”，但这个f是用于构成ft连字的，需要另做一个。~ 不好的消息：我看错了，构成ft连字的头是一样大，只是臂长显得短而已，我还是需要另做一个，准备将这个“短头f”码位设为ꬵ（U+AB35 LATIN SMALL LETTER LENIS F，弱f）以便没有字体特性的软件复制粘贴。 另外calt特性不太好写，是否有什么可以照抄的规律。

测试例句： ꬵěꬵèꬵǒꬵòꬵǎꬵà（弱f） fěfèfǒfòfǎfà（普通f） fefofa 这样如何？感觉再短就不好看了。自动切换特性怎么写还没想到，或者放ss02？
