  I have 4 blog posts, using the twenty eleven theme. All of the ‘fi’ pairs in my text, which look fine when I type them, are transposed as ‘if’ in my blog. So the word ‘financial’ looks like ‘ifnancial.’ I tried changing the theme, but it made no difference. How can I fix this?

  I’m part of a private group blog. We’re having a similar problem.

  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.
