your post just made me notice that this font does something fucky to the dot over the "i" and "j" when they're next to an "f" fi f i fj f j
How have I never noticed this before? Do all fonts do this? Wtf

I notice it too now. All fonts don't do this. It's a feature of some fonts called ligatures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)#Stylistic_ligatures

The weird thing is that it doesn't do it on mobile. Only desktop
