Ubuntu Nerd Font having issues with ligatures displaying fi and fl wrong again #1221
Comments

|
[why] With Ubuntu-Regular the fi and fl ligatures are replaced by some font awesome icons. The problem is that the font uses the non-standard F001 and F002 codepoints as intermediate referencve to create the actual ligatures that are at codepoints FB01 to FB04. [how] All the normal ligature codepoints (FB00-FB06) are added to the glyph reference checker and codepoints that are referenced by these are not patched. This means that F001 and F002 stay on the original ligatures and the Font Awesome icons are missing, but this can not be fixed automatically and would need to 'rewrite' the references inside the font.

@Finii sorry the search |
|
In some fonts we could not solve this, where the ligature occupies the symbol codepoint directly. |

@Finii See the below explanation. Version 3.0.0 Verison 3.0.1 |

Ubuntu is set up that I do not know why the did this. Standard codepoint is The reference " What changed between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 is that the patcher does not touch any "essential" glyphs, and also follows all references through the font (which can be many). Patching in at I will think about that and how we can improve the situation. |

@Finii yup, that the issue i cant understand why they did that way. will it because this is a |

I can think of no reason for this design. |

Maybe they did it to have a simpler design for the Removing the stuff is rather hard programmatically, you have to analyze multiple tables and references and see how it all fits together; I can do this manually but I am not good enough to program something that does it. Edit: The |
There are quite some fonts with this ... |

@Finii one question, based from nerd cheatsheet, what is the different between codepoint For me both look identical, but the codepoint is different and the codepoint (e68f) is appear correctly in |

Well, there are slight variances in thickness, and handle roundedness :-D
