Description of problem:
See attached screenshot. DejaVu is the default font, and its western ligatures
look, well, ugly, and are disconcerting. I can reproduce the problem with GTK
programs but not QT ones.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango-1.18

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use DejaVu LGC or another font with ligatures
2. Type "confirms" (or "firefox") western text into Pango-using program
3. See apparent ugly baseline shift
  
Actual results:
Ugly ligatures makes text look misaligned

Expected results:
Characters that appear to share a baseline
