Hi folks Is there a way of forcing Voice over to ignore the ligatures present in serif fonts like Times please? For those who may not know, ligatures are stylised letter combinations such as the 'double f' found in words like 'effort'. They are often italicised and joined together. Ligatures are, as far as i know, only found in fonts which use decorative letter stylings. Fonts including Arial do not use ornamentation.
Voice over mispronounces such words because it does not know that the ligatures are present. This is often a problem with PDFs downloaded from academic repositories. While the PDFs are far from unreadable, it is inconvenient. I suspect that this is not possible without using OCR, but thought i would ask.
