Bug#432739: pango: Pango should transparently render using ligatures if available

Additionally, e.g. the word finish (though rendered finish) when selected and copied to the clipboard/screen reader should result in finish again, though I am not sure whether this is in the field of the GUI toolkit in question. Hi, Isn't this already the case? What application and what font are you testing with? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
