display problems when using a "w" ligature on Old Hungarian font #1983

Closed tamasbartos closed 3 years ago

Defect Report

https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/blob/master/unhinted/ttf/NotoSansOldHungarian/NotoSansOldHungarian-Regular.ttf has a "w" ligature as "v"+ZWJ+"v", which doesn't appear on terminal-like editors. Saving in a txt file with for example LibreOffice, and open it with Midnight Commander's editor - or when we try to send this "ligature" onto devices, like IPhone, which doesn't define this ligature,- the "ligature" appears as two "v" letters, which are in Hungarian language aren't the same thing. Consider whether to use it at all on Android as it is not a real ligature.
