Yes, ok. How do you know that? I mean, without knowing the displayed text.
Is there a way, knowing the glyph code (here, 0o019 or 0o014), to convert
it to something more "readable"? Like, hum, ['] for the floating acute, and [ffi]
for the ligature.

I tried to copy paste the text from the pdf using evince, and the floating acute
is indeed rendered separately, but the ligature is properly converted to "ffi".

I guess the interpretation of the glyph code depends on the font, but I don't
find how to do that with CamlPDF - using glyphnames_of_text just returned
only "/.notdef"...
