kerning f + egrave in roman font about eb-garamond HOT 5 CLOSED

There is the glyph "f.short", and I would recommend to use it in such situations.

from eb-garamond.

Thank you for the hint!

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents_}{kernegrave.fea}
languagesystem DFLT dflt;
languagesystem latn dflt;
feature fegr {
substitute f' egrave by f.short;
} fegr ;
\end{filecontents_}

\usepackage{fontspec}%
\defaultfontfeatures{FeatureFile=kernegrave.fea,RawFeature=+fegr}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}
\begin{document}
réfère
\end{document}

Should this workaround be added to the font specimen?

Thank you for the report.
What Adam pointed out would be exactly my response to the question but I’d
recommend to enable the contextual alternates feature generally. It will
prevent other collisions as well.
I suppose, you are using LuaLaTeX which doesn’t activate it automatically
whereas XeLaTeX does so. To activate contextual alternates add
\defaultfontfeatures{RawFeature=+calt}
I think of adding a remark about it in the specimen.

Indeed, I am using lualatex.

Thanks to all for your remarks, and most of all, thank you Georg Duffner for EB Garamond!
