  Dear Sirs. Seems that the letter ‘f’ (for example in ‘modify/modifier’ at the bottom of the published pages), disapears when publishing with the theme ‘Syntax’, Thank you for an answer.

  Hi there, currently there are numerous reports of problems with the Merriweather font, which the Syntax theme also uses.

  I’ve tagged this for Staff attention. Please be patient while waiting for their reply.

  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.
