Description zeniko 2009-08-01 20:34:18 UTC 
The ligatures ff, fi, fl, ffi, ffl and st (Unicode 0xFB00 to 0xFB06) will have to 
be converted into their individual characters anyway for searching (no user will 
enter a proper ligature) and copying text (many fonts don't completely support 
them). Getting them already split up will make things significantly easier, as 
they can't be substituted by a single character.
