1. pango-view --font="Ubuntu 48" --markup --text='<span
fallback="false"> fl ſl • fb ſb • fk ſk • fi ſi • ff ſſ</span>'


Rendered in 46pt Regular

Sample Glyphs: ſf ſſ ſk ſi

The kerning and spacing for the latin long s "ſ" is not consistent with
the remaining text.

In particular, when ‘ſ’ is followed by an ascending letter, the two
collide.

The hinting is also somehow different from small f. I think that is not
intended, since for big sizes the upper part of f and ſ become nearly
identical. At least the latter is intended, I think.
