I will go google & search on ligatures as you are often annoyingly correct. meantime I've sent the file to amazon to send to my kindle to see how their conversion software gets on

I am also running it thru pdftoepub as I type - that program shows a table of "pdf glyphs" and what it plans to do with them, before it gets going, I did not see any funnies in there

PS - quote - Koval - last May - "the next release of calibre will automatically convert ligatures to normal characters."
