From 906051b8323c70d97c5e42c2bcd8ffebab590925 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abimael Martell Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 15:59:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix(text): Fix ligature corruption and expand ligature characters Fix Differences encoding path dropping standard characters when only ligature bytes matched the sparse encoding map. Now combines Differences entries with Latin-1 fallback for printable bytes instead of using filter_map which silently dropped unmapped bytes. Add expand_ligatures() to replace Unicode ligature characters (U+FB00-FB04) with their ASCII components (ff, fi, fl, ffi, ffl) at all TextItem creation sites. Add underscore-variant glyph names (f_f, f_f_i, f_f_l). Eliminates 669 ligature corruptions across the eval suite.
