So what I see there is that badly designed fonts require ligatures to correct interactions.

Like, I get that there are some neat ones, e.g. I have them turned on when writing code for symbols, but they seem wholly unnecessary and distracting in alphabetical characters.

But I’m also the kind of weirdo that thinks the world needs more monospace fonts.

To me, that’s even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it’s expected short circuit my reading comprehension.

The “fi” combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.

Similar functionality is actually baked into the kernel!

I haven’t for months now, but it certainly ran well at release.

Username checks out!

I had a similar issue a couple years ago and it turned out the power supply just couldn’t handle load well anymore.

Obviously I can’t make that a definitive diagnosis, but per Cunningham’s law, it should help get a better answer for you.
