  Hi there, I’m finding that there is a bug in your free theme ‘Edin’ that I’m using for gzele.wordpress.com — Words that start with ‘fi’ seem to be missing the ‘f’. I noticed it for many of my posts and it looks like it’s a spelling mistake, but it’s a bug from your end. Can you please look into this?

  I'm confused. What do you mean it's a new “feature”? Seems like a bug to me

  A glitch with liguatures (like fl and fi) was introduced in the Merriweather font a few days ago. According to the font’s developer, a fix will be pushed through to Google Fonts today (Jan. 25) in the morning, Pacific time:

  https://github.com/EbenSorkin/Merriweather/issues/16

  Temporary workarounds include:

  1. Add the following custom CSS, if you have access to the upgrade:

  html {
    -webkit-font-variant-ligatures: none;
    -moz-font-variant-ligatures: none;
    font-variant-ligatures: none;
  }

  OR,

  2. In your Customizer’s Fonts panel, choose another font.
