Description mitz 2005-12-18 10:15:45 PST 
The CG code path in WebTextRenderer does not render automatic ligatures.
Comment 1 Timothy Hatcher 2008-10-17 09:26:27 PDT 
We should consider using ligatures in text runs that are greater than some large font size. So headlines and things look good. That might be acceptable performance wise.
Comment 2 mitz 2008-10-17 09:31:43 PDT 
Setting a font size threshold may be problematic for things that smoothly animate size.

rendering in safari, firefox, chrome

The rendering in Firefox and Safari is working
The one in Chrome not so much.

Bug 99113 addressed the "CG code path" part of this, and bug 100188 enabled ligatures by default.
