Also, only because Kovid said that Calibre would automatically convert those, doesn't mean it does that absolutely correct in every case- maybe you found a bug. Or, maybe, you ticked "keep ligatures" in the layout options.
Anyway, I'm going to shut up now before I annoy you further. Good luck in solving your issue.

OK
i did not tick keep ligatures -
i did look stuff up
- I do have a good conversion via the other program.
your advice was helpful, if brusque.
I now know what a ligature is.
suspect it's combination of poor quality source + maybe a residual bug in calibre. I'll file a bug. - ticket 8459
