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.
Hmm, I have the same problem. I use ProFont (which is monospaced) and
in TextEdit it seems ligatures are enabled by default. (For example,
'file' becomes three glyphs, taking up the width of three glyphs.) I
can turn this off with Format > Font > Ligature > Use None. Perhaps
there should be an option to make this the default for plain text files?
