With some fonts, the string "fi" is considered like one character

Reported by thomas.n...@gmail.com, Apr 27 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.117 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/gzLwOj

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  Go to https://codepen.io/anon/pen/gzLwOj
2. Select the "fi" of the different fonts

What is the expected behavior?
I should be able to select only one of the two characters

What went wrong?
With Roboto and Open Sans I cannot select only one of the characters

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.117  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.13.4
Flash Version: 

My first issue was that I use a library to export a page to PDF using canvas and if the string "fi" is on the page, only the "f" is displayed. Then I find this two characters bug.
It works fine in Firefox/Safari

Chrome correctly supports font ligatures, other browsers apparently don't.
The default value is "font-variant-ligatures: normal" and Chrome matches the spec.
You can disable this feature using CSS "font-variant-ligatures: none"

thomas.negrault@ Thanks for the issue.

Able to reproduce the issue on Mac OS 10.12.6, Windows 10 and Ubuntu 17.10 on the latest Canary 68.0.3414.0 and Stable 66.0.3359.117 by the steps mentioned in the original comment.

Not able to select one of the two characters in Roboto and Open Sans font.

This is a Non-Regression issue as this behavior is observed from M60 Chrome builds. 
Hence marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev.

Thanks..
