LO Writer in Gecko MATE renders quotation marks as "umlaut"??

Just providing feedback, using rolling MATE yesterday I was using Liberation Sans in LO Writer, and typing the leading quotation mark would be turned into what might be similar to an "umlaut" . . . where the letter following the quotation mark would be turned into a letter with an umlaut over it . . . .

I emailed the docx to myself to get it to a less power hungry machine and then it took 15-20 minutes using LO in Pop!_OS to edit out all of the problems made in the other version of LO . . . . When I tried to save the doc it said something like, "We can't save it as docx, we have to use "translational"????

I'm not sure if this is related to the "harfuzz"??? font bug problem or something else. I've seen posts on Mastodon where others were complaining about font issues . . . seemed like it might have hit all of my OpenSUSE distros, this "umlaut" problem, but might have been cleaned up . . . pretty sure my TW install no longer has this issue . . . . Today is Deb Trixie day, does not seem to have the problem in typing this out. But, seemed to still be afflicting the rolling MATE distro that I was using yesterday, particularly affecting the fore and aft quotation mark fonting . . . .

I recall seeing in some apt/zypper/pacman upgrades something like "harfuzz" in the packages listed?? Can't say if my Gecko MATE did or did not get those upgrade/fixes?? but, in any event the "fix is not in" for the Gecko as of yesterday. : - 0
