Photoshop Kerning Issue

Question

Hello,I am working on a project in Photoshop and I ran into an issue involving the kerning. I am using the fonts, Cooper Std and Avenir and I noticed when typing out the letters (f & i) in lowercase they are close together in comparison to other letters. I then proceeded to utilize the kerning tab to create spacing in between the letters (f & i) but it seems to be not working. I was wondering does anyone know how to reset/fix this issue? I attached a screen shot below for reference. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Try resetting the Type tool.

Instead of kerning, it is probably ligatures.

Here is the fi with ligaturures on:

Here is the fi with ligatures off:

Character panel menu > Open Type > Standard Ligatures

Consider keeping ligatures on, as they are proper in typography.
