New issue 22240 by Cryptooctoploid: Ligature substitution not working http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22240 Chrome Version : 4.0.212.0 (26435) OS + version : Linux CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64-bit window manager : Gnome Behavior in Firefox 3.x, What is the expected result?: Firefox automatically substitutes certain character combinations by their ligatures. For example "fl" is automatically rendered as the fl ligature of the font (fi->fi-ligature, ffl, ffi, ...). What happens instead? No ligatures are rendered with Chrome. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and backtrace if possible. I have attached two screenshots from the Atlantic website. Notice how all ligatures are nicely rendered in Firefox; the letter-spacing is also much better in general.
