Issue

Although rare, there are cases where the last word of sentence ending with the letter f may be italicized for emphasis which is then followed by an upright closing parenthesis because the rest of the sentence inside the parentheses was upright. There is overlap in both Noto Sans and Noto Serif with the italic f and the upright closing parenthesis.

While writing this issue, I also discovered that it happens with the opening parenthesis as well but only in Noto Sans

    Definitely exists for Greek and Cyrillic but I'm not going to test those since I think the issue is obvious now.
