In a recent Indesign 2 file converted to PDF the ariel characters 'fl' do not show up throughout the document (eg 'flood' shows up as 'ood' etc). The individual characters 'f' and 'l' show up fine. Also if I highlight the affected text - copy and paste to word for example, it shows up fine. Why would there be a problem with 'f' and 'l' together? Can anyone help me out here?

You go to character palette -> upper right corner small arrow -> press and open options and turn ligatures off.

Thats great George,

I couldn't figure this one out at all - the default ligatures setting caused me no end of stress as the job went to print after 5 perfectly good proofings - the 'fl's were only missing on the final print after conversion to pdf by the printer - you live and learn...

thanks,

rusty James
