Title:
  Liberation Serif 'fi' and 'fl' ligatures on wrong Unicode position

Status in liberation-fonts package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf (in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/), there are two ligatures defined: 'fi' on position U+F001 and 'fl' on position U+F002 (I've checked that with Birdfont). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetic_Presentation_Forms says that those ligatures should be on U+FB01 and U+FB02. As they are located on different positions, they are not shown, i.e. in LibreOffice Writer.
