Re: [Groff] `fi' makes trouble in pdf

[Leif Bruder]

Hi there,

try installing the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package on (K)Ubuntu 14.X. On my 
system, that fixed the problem. Looks like the Times Roman font is replaced 
with another one that lacks the ligature; installing the MS Times font fixes 
this.
