However they do it, it repeats deterministically. Every third character in a repeated string is the same. If you paste "EEE| |EoEoEoEo| |EoiEoiEoi|" into the box and note the changes to the 'E' you should observe the way the E is dependent on the previous characters, but only for a certain distance. I assume this is a ligature-like feature but I don't know enough about fonts to say any more.

Ahhh! I see. It becomes more obvious if you type a lower-case t repeatedly. Thanks :-)
