What the "F" (copy/paste issues with F in the text)
So this is probably a common question but I couldn't seem to find a topic with the searches I tried.
When I copy paste text into a "story" (typically from a PDF, not just one, ALL) that contains "f" it acts very strange. A lot of times the character after the F will be missing, if it's "I" after the "F" (such as find) it will show up as "f?nd". Fly has shown up as ?y.
Is there a way to keep this from happening because it causes a ton of extra review to find and fix all of them.---

Someone once said what caused this and I remember reading up on it. I want to say it had to do with "ligatures" or something. It was something about various fonts having the combination of two characters represented by one. This is so that the spacing between the letters looks ideal and not like unicode or equal spaces.
I haven't found a way around this myself. Hopefully someone else does..?

Ligatures! The bane of my existence. I use Notepad++ and wrote macros to eliminate the ligatures and replace with fl, fi, whatever. Don't know a better way.

I had this thing with Foxit Reader. I used another reader (just... Edge) and now my "fi" are corrects.
