Package: fonts-dejavu-core
Version: 2.35-1
Severity: normal

Hi!
In the latest upload, letter combinations that would be ligatures (fi, ff,
ffi, ...) get replaced by some random characters instead.  For example, in
Dejavu Sans, fi becomes a reversed omega with a breve, while in Dejavu Sans
Bold, fi becomes o with a horizontal slash.

Downgrading to 2.34 fixes this issue, thus eliminating the possibility some
other recent upgrade was the culprit.

Hrm, indeed it does not.  Which is weird, as fonts get reloaded every page
load, so after upgrading/downgrading dejavu the change shows up.

Only this version of this font shows the issue.

Closing then, as I have no means of finding another culprit.
