Some fonts splits words

[daniele-gusmini]

What were you trying to do?

I'm modifying a pdf file, adding some text in specific places.

How did you attempt to do it?

I added the new font trough FontKit and inserted the text with drawText

Here the code
pages[2].drawText("effettuare", { x: x_pos, y: y_pos, size: fontSize, font: hindRegular, color: white, rotate: degrees(0), })

What actually happened?

It is working properly for most part of the words. But if I write for example "effettuare" it spits the word. The result on the pdf is "eff ettuare"

What did you expect to happen?

I would expect the word to be connected

How can we reproduce the issue?

This issue is probably related to issues with ligature spacing. PR #1325 provides a fix
