This PR does a few cleanup tasks:

  • Fix ligature width of ffi to match the non-ligated sequence (in order to maintain family superplexing)
  • Improve fi and ffi ligatures to better match spacing of non-ligated spacing (this wouldn’t be desirable in all type designs, but makes sense for this project)
  • Add ligature carets to sources (though, ufo2ft doesn’t yet build these from UFOs to output fonts, so they are only added to sources)
  • Remove unused ligatures from font exports & metadata (fl, ffl, ff) – these were available in aalt but not active via normally-used OpenType features like rvrn and liga, because they look worse than the non-ligated sequences in this design
  • Builds these cleanup steps into a new release, v1.071
