Font: The letter f goes missing or rearranges itself in a word

[ghost]

URL: 298488-chat

What I expected: The words first, film, find, and words beginning with an 'f' followed by the letter 'i' appear as they should be.

What happened instead: See 'ilm' or 'iflms' instead of film[s], and 'irst' or 'ifrst' instead of first.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Site font must be Merriweather Sans
2. View posts in Safari

Browser OS version: iOS 9.2 (not 2.1 as is screencapped.)

This seems to be related to a new version of Merriweather that was released a couple of days ago. It looks like they had some issues with ligatures (which would explain this problem), which this PR addresses: EbenSorkin/Merriweather#16.

@absentendings Are you able to re-test this? It looks like an updated version of the font has now been pushed to Google Fonts, so this should be fixed.

This should now be totally fixed at the GF API side :)

@frosty Definitely fixed and non-replicable! Thank you all for all your help and insight! :)
