pdf to epub - trouble with FL

I try convert on default settings & see all words like flights being messed up. seems that f is replaced with a strange compound character.

thus flights becomes ϐlights.

if I tick the keep ligatures option then flights becomes blights.

so is there an option which will fix this ?

PS some f characters are ok, thus some f words are OK, I cannot yet suss the rule that causes some f to be plan f and others to be not, in the PDF.

I can go ahead & patch up with sigil, as this source is potentially better than my existing lit source of same novel, but there could be other weird characters that I've not spotted yet.

sigil finds &replaces 1050 instances of ϐ - what is this ϐ thing anyway ???
