I've found a workaround, which is to switch to a font that does not contain ligatures.
The font "Mensch", which I was using, has single characters for ligatures in it, and gedit was using them. "Monospace" does not, so its text displays correctly. -- Ligatures appear in monospaced text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
