good call - let me test & report....

okI did 3 tests using the same sentence - copy from adobe, paste
1) to Word,
2) to notepad++
3) directly to here.

in all 3 tests the leading f simply vanished from my test sentence i.e. flights became lights
There was no smoking on shuttle
lights.

[ c.f. flights became ϐlights in calibre epub output).

so calibre actually did a better job than word in that the calibre output was fixable in regex, whereas distinguishing lost f in word would be impossible

so would ALL pdf convert programs fall at this hurdle ???
