coming here in frustratin from my other thread. I cannot find any google referecnces to double-L being a ligature. only ff fi & some other combinations.

My bug report was thrown out as a duplicate issue and others are for sure having problems with ll become ing l+space in PDF convert.

I have tried convertt to txt - still exists-
examine pdfohtml intermediate output via calibre S&R wizard ( damage already done at that stage),
tried ligatures on/ off - no difference.
examined all PDF glyphs in source ( with another program) no special ll characters.

searched forum ( hence arriving here ) though cannot have l or ll as search terms which does not help.

this must be a calibre bug but I cannot find the original bug ticket which presumably is still open & being worked on by someone ?

and yes I know this is an old thread but as it's still open old thread week, I believe...

it could be an OCR issue, so if someone could kindly tell me whether calibre is using OCR in PDF conversion that would be progress, of sorts
