Why the lower case "f" and "i" joint together.
I'm using "Gilroy Font" and "Sofia Pro"

Those are called ligatures, and some fonts have those specially designed characters. It's not a problem at all, it's how the font was designed. Not all fonts have them, but some well designed fonts do.

Hi Dan,

how can you turn ligatures off?

There's no ligature setting in XD (advanced type controls would be nice). So the closet workaround I can think of would be to add a Character Spacing of 1 which will break them apart. Ideally that's done to just those 2 characters, because if you do it to all the chararacters you are adding a tiny amount of space across them all.
