totally offtopic typographic comment - anyone else seeing the alt-font fi ligature in the title? It's quasi-bolded on my machined (Safari, OS X), so it sticks out like a sore thumb.
The ligature appears for me, but the font only seems to mess up in firefox. Which is weird, because i would have expected Firefox and IE to have the same behaviour owing to DirectWrite..(?)

i saw it, but i don't understand why it's happening. the text doesn't have any special markup so why doesn't the font display it as "fi" (two letters) if it doesn't have the correct ligature? is it a bug in the font?
edit: if i reduce the style to a single font, wf_segoe-ui_light, then it still appears that way. so i guess it's an issue with the font, not the browser.

Yes. Chrome 27, OS X. I spent a couple of seconds wondering if it was some typographical quirk inserted on purpose by someone.

Yes, same thing, Firefox 20, Linux.

I noticed that too and was confused.
Didn't notice anything. You got a good eye.
Seconded. Chromium, Linux.
