I can repro this on a stock Tiger install (clean, not upgrade) with
these steps:
- Open TextEdit and type "ffffff" (or fi or fl; pick your favorite
ligature)
- Press cmd+shift+T to switch to plain text
- From the Font panel, choose Lucida Grande 144 point.
Voila, ligatures.
Yes, I would expect it with Lucida and many other fonts.
Sorry for not being more specific earlier. I left out a detail I put
into the original bug; that this was not just an issue with plain
text, but was one when using monospaced fonts.
Ah, now that makes sense. I can see why you wouldn't want ligatures in
plain monospaced text.
I don't think it's a bug with variable width fonts, because whether the
glyphs are rendered with ligatures or not has no bearing on the plain
old character data in the plain text file. But, of course, with a
monospaced font it'd be a disaster, since the whole point is the look
of the glyphs.
