How to stop UILabel from replacing "..." with an ellipsis character

Question

I have an iOS app which uses fixed width font label extensively.

After changing to the iOS 7 sdk and build target 6.1, all the label automagically replace occurences of three punctuation marks with an ellipsis character. This breaks a lot of stuff and looks weird, since the ellipsis character is not present in the font I use, and iOS sees fit to use one from a different font.

How do I stop this behaviour?

This is a ligature, and iOS seems to replace them automatically (like fl becomes fl). Seems like there are some options to disable them, see this question: Adjoining "f" and "l" characters
