Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Searchable PDFs from Graphite fonts

While I don't have Libertine O on my Win7 system, I do have it on my 
Ubuntu Wubi installation, so I tested it, and as I expected, I didn't 
get any automatic ligatures with Libertine O. Without the ligatures, it 
worked fine on a PDF export.

Then, I copied the sentence in Libertine O and, using the Insert/Special 
Character menu, I manually replaced the "T" "h" in "This" and the "f" 
"f" "i" in "official" with a "Th" "ffi" ligature in the Libertine O 
font. This time when I converted the file to a PDF, the search function 
found "This" in the Libertine G with automatic ligatures and Libertine O 
without ligatures, but not the Libertine O with the manually inserted 
"Th" ligature. But, it found "official" in both the Libertine O without 
ligatures and with the manually inserted "ffi" ligature.

This was done with Libertine 3.6.2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 with Document Viewer.

I then ran the same test in AOO in Ubuntu and the PDF search found 
"This" in Libertine G with automatic ligatures and Libertine O without 
ligatures but not Libertine O with ligatures. It found "official" in all 
three situations.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I ran a test where I typed the same sentence twice on one page. On the 
first line, I applied Libertine
