"i" becomes "I" at start of every word #254

I am hoping you can help me. I am running into an issue when using Public Sans in a Word template. Word automatically changes every “i” at the start of a word to a capital I. For example “the ice island” would become “The Ice Island”.

If I change the font this problem goes away, however I need to use Pubic Sans. Have you received any reports of this happening with Public Sans? If so is there a fix?

Could it be something to do with ligatures?

Some extra detail about the "i" becoming "I".

For me it only occurs while using my PC, not Mac.
It seems style dependent. So in the Word template I'm using it occurs in Normal, H1, H2, H3 but not Title. However if I use these styles in a table then the problem doesn't occur.
A work around is to delete the "i to I" AutoCorrect function
Another work around is to change Ligatures from "None" to "Standard Only" however this doesn't consistently work which is also strange

OK, let's try to confirm this. I've never seen an issue like it.

Here is a forum talking about the issue, but not specifically with Public Sans. No good answers are given though.

maybe it is because of a text replacement feature?
