Bug#799149: emacs24: huge character height in file containing U+FB00 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: emacs24
Version: 24.5+1-1
Severity: normal

In a file that contains ff (U+FB00 LATIN SMALL), the character height
of the line is huge. This can be seen on this file (if the character
has not been mangled). Otherwise a file with such a character can be
created with:

  printf "\ufb00\n"

I've attached a screenshot of the Emacs window, with the cursor just
after the closing parenthesis, so that one can see the mark of the
matching parentheses.
