It's possible to work around this with FontForge.

1) Open the font file with FontForge_
2) For each of ``fi`` and ``fl``:

   a) Click ``View`` then ``Go to``
   b) Use the name ``fi`` or ``fl``
   c) Right-click the highlighted dot symbol and click ``Clear``

3) Click ``Generate Fonts``
4) Choose a font format, probably OpenType (CFF) or TrueType
5) Optionally change the file name, hit ``Generate``, disregard warnings and 
hit ``Generate`` again

.. _FontForge: http://fontforge.org

Hi,
I'm using Share Tech Mono on my Website and I'm experiencing the same problem. 
Is this problem likely to be solved or is it better to look for a new font?

Michael

Someone has made a fix:
http://codeconcussion.com/fonts/share-tech-mono

Can someone tell me why this fix isn't put into the original Font which is on 
Google Fonts?

Reproduced  GIMP 2.8.10 on Mac. Error with unnecessary  ligature substitution. 
Same error occurs when Ligatures are turned on InDesign CS6

The font has been updated by the author and he will send the update to Google.

you can see even on google font's review site this bug for this font if you 
type any word with fi or fl.

What's going on with this? A fix procedure was posted here a full year ago, and 
a pre-made fix was posted here in July 2014.

Is anyone with write access to this repo interested in committing the fix?
