Public bug reported:

While there's Bug #1325230 with the same title and the linked PDFs there are working fine here (displaying "fi" correctly) there seems to be still some bug regarding ligatures. 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1325230

I have some PDFs substituting Helvetica (and others) with TeX Gyre Heros
and showing no "fi" ligature.  I attached a patch I derived from the
patch in Bug #1325230 which is working fine. Now it uses Nimbus Sans L
and the ligatures are fine.
