[Bug] Problems with Font ligatures in ComboBox/PopupMenu, but not in TextEditor

JUCE 7.0.5 unmodified, MacOS Mojave. Did not test on Windows. I am using a custom third-party font. When you use a less than or greater than symbol < > with a dash -, it automatically turns it into a left or right arrow symbol - through ligatures. This then screws up my popup menus and causes other characters in the names to disappear. The question is: why does the TextEditor display the text correctly, but the ComboBox (Label/Popup) does not? They are both using the same custom Font. This see…

Not just the next character, but multiple characters in a longer string.
