--- Comment #5 from George Mitchell <george@m5p.com> ---
Thanks to all of you for the suggestions.  But here's an odd thing: I use X=
FCE4
and associated applications, and I observe this problem in Thunderbird and
Mousepad -- but not Firefox and not xfce4-terminal.  So there is apparently
some way for a clever program to render text in fixed width using Noto Mono=
 but
not magically replacing (for example) eff-ell with a ligature.

But by the same token, if I come across a text which uses the Unicode ligat=
ure
code points, I would expect to see them rendered as ligatures (though it's =
hard
to imagine "ffl" smooshed into one space).  So I don't want the fonts to (in
effect) lose the ligature glyphs altogether.
