Package: pango
Version: libpango1.0-0
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if Pango could render non-fixed fonts using ligatures 
automatically and transparently.

For instance, typing "fi" into a text box would result first in "f" and 
then in "fi". Hitting backspace gives "f" again, while pressing the back 
arrow and then delete gives "i".

This should only take place for variable-width fonts that provide said 
ligature. Additionally, e.g. the word "finish" (though rendered 
"finish") when selected and copied to the clipboard/screen reader should 
result in "finish" again, though I am not sure whether this is in the 
field of the GUI toolkit in question.
