        @adiwan it's even in a weird limbo where if you copy and paste the fi-rankenstien elsewhere it becomes normal again

          @tiffany Ligatures are mainly on the font-rendering level. The font has a table for combined characters. This is why you got the uncombined characters back after copy&pasting. Though there are some unicode character for some very common ligatures.
