Title:
  [1 mod] Kerning: ſ (U+017F) [latin long s] colliding with following
  characters

Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
