Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.5-3
Severity: normal
When I try to prepare this short document for conversion to pdf, the
ligatures are broken:
###- testit.tex -----------------------------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{times}
\begin{document}
Diffusionskoeffizient (diffusion coefficient)
ffl fl ff fi ffi
\end{document}
###------------------------------------------------------------
$ latex testit.tex
$ dvips -Ppdf -o testit.ps testit.dvi
Instead of the ligatures, the ps file displays:
a British Pound sign for "fi" and a compass rosette for "fl".
An excerpt of the generated ps follows (note the \244 and \243
"letters").
If I leave out -Ppdf ligatures get displayed correcly, but the pdf is very ugly,
because scalable fonts are not used.
###- testit.ps ------------------------------------------------

I tested the example file in the report and found

Thanks.
