           Summary: Pango ligature detection overzealous
           Product: Fedora
           Version: f7
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: pango
        AssignedTo: besfahbo at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: jhe at phys.soton.ac.uk

Description of problem:
Pango's ligature detection is too keen (at least) with the Linux Libertine font.
It picks up things like fi, fl and ffi mid-word, but also spots roman numerals
and "No" as short for "number" when it's not appropriate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango-1.16.4-2.fc7
linux-libertine-fonts-2.4.9-1.fc7

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Pango-enabled app (e.g., Inkscape, Firefox).
2. Choose Linux Libertine font.
3. Find/type: difficult, UNIX, ASCII, Nobody.
  
Actual results:
See attached png (from Inkscape).

Expected results:
No ligature detection for UNIX, ASCII and Nobody.
