Subject: Bug#3859: xpdf does not display ligatures

From: Yves Arrouye <[email-masked]>

Package: xpdf
Version: 0.5-0

The subject says it: xpdf does not display ligatures such as fi, ff, ffi, etc.
I don't know why but if this is because they are not available in the current
font, they should at least be substituted by the letters they are made of,
with some kerning to make them look okay, perhaps.

If one gets the manual.pdf file from an Apache site (cf. www.apache.org),
the problem can be seen. (It does not happen with gs...)

Yves.
