Can you tell me why? I'm confused. Why is it when tou put "f" in front of "i", the dot goes away? fi Its only on lowercase

I think it's just a font error. Either the dot on the "i" is too close to the curve of the "f" and so come together or it's just a general bug. That or it's an aesthetic that the staff picked but I wouldn't think so.
I'd presume a typeface error!

I see the dot >:0

Idk. Example: fine.
