The recent upgrade of resulted in just about every program (Firefox, KiCAD, but not urxvt thankfully) rendering various even in monospaced fonts. This is *really* annoying when looking at code, etc. I don't even know where to go to disable this insanity... any ideas?

A screenshot of syntax highlighted code (struct & const are bold green; side_field, val, and qso_side are bold blue; char is red-ish) displayed in a monospaced font. Blue underlined numbers on the left indicate the code snippet is from lines 54-58. There is a bold red circle around the "fi" ligature in "side_field". The code itself reads: struct side_field { const char *tx_name; const char *rx_name; struct val *(*get)(const struct qso_side *); };

@jeffpc Create /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.avail/29-local-noto-mono-fixup.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<description>Disable ligatures for monospaced fonts to avoid ff, fi, ffi, etc. becoming only one character wide</description>
<match target="font">
<test name="family" compare="eq">
<string>Noto Sans Mono</string>
</test>
<edit name="fontfeatures" mode="append">
<string>liga off</string>
<string>dlig off</string>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

And then do the symlink in /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d

ln -s ../conf.avail/29-local-noto-mono-fixup.conf

@monwarez Thanks! That did it - I just created the file & symlink and both Firefox and KiCAD started behaving sanely.
