[Solved]Font issue on items with double F's

Hi!

So I have encountered a somewhat strange issue when it comes to the font PoE uses.

If an item has two repeating F's in it's text. Take for example on Soul Taker's "Insufficient Mana Doesn't Prevent Your Melee Attacks"

It just doesn't render the F's and instead create a black empty spot.

This is not present on the flavour text on Soul Taker even though this also contains an F.

If you take lets say an item such as Sacrificial Heart. nowhere on the item where there are F's present, does this issue occur.

I could go through every single item in PoE and I can see single F's just fine, however on item descriptions where the F's repeat twice, the issue occurs.

It does not occur in the chat, there you can repeat two F's and it is completely fine.

In game screenshots of both Soul Taker and Sacrificial heart for demonstration purposes.


I tried reinstalling PoE onto a whole new HDD however the issue still remains.
It also happens on every single version of every item that this problem exists on so it isn't something unique with this specific Soul taker.

It isn't exactly a game breaking bug, it just looks silly, however if someone got a solution I will gladly try it out!

Do you have the font called "Fontin" installed on your system? The original font has a broken "ffi" ligature, so the game uses a special "fixed" version. Try uninstalling the font (if you have it) and restart the game so it can use the fixed version (which is bundled with the game).

I googled so hard and couldn't find an official answer, but not once did I think to actually specify the search to be about soul taker itself. haha.

I did indeed have Fontin installed and a quick removal of this font has solved the issue as specified.

Thanks for your help, and thanks for all your hard work with PoE trade macro!
