Horrific?

I don't know about enhanced, but I am not sure I remember any missing dots on my "i's". That is just wrong.

I don't want a missing dot, what the heck.
It's not 'missing', it's just merged. I think the overlapping hook on the lower case 'f' and the dot on the 'i' (as shown in post #7) looks ugly. The overlapping 'fl' does too, but less so.

How funny, I did the same yesterday, though I already knew the answer.

Every paperback I checked had them. They should. Ligatures are part of good quality typesetting.
