[Brian Murray]

Hello Kevin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted fontconfig into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/2.11.0-0ubuntu4.1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  evince does not display ligatures

Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library:
  Unknown
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “fontconfig” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Description ]

  When a document uses a Times font, the 'fi' ligature may not be
  displayed. The TeX Gyre Termes font is aliased to Times in fontconfig
  and does not display this correctly.

  [ Development fix ]

  Identical package uploaded to Utopic.

  [ QA ]

  Install fonts-texgyre, then download the PDF in comment #1 and check
  that 'file' is displayed incorrectly (no 'fi') before and correctly
  after.

  [ Regression potential ]

  Some files might display better with TeX Gyre Termes. Check a few
  Times documents to see that they are still okay.

  [ Original description ]

  The following pdf file does not display ligatures for "fi". Open the
  file and search for "file".

  http://ceph.com/papers/weil-crush-sc06.pdf

  I have attached an image of the rendering of the file, showing the
  word "file", though not displaying "fi".
