The discussion is made harder to follow by rendering the original µm (Greek
letter m followed by Roman letter m) as um. copy-and-paste is correctly
interpreting the double mm of the original as a double mm - it is just not
distinguishing between scripts. Unfortunately in this case it matters.
I have just tried. If I copy-and-paste the document into LibreOffice, as set
up on my computer, it copies a serif font and pastes a sans-serif one. So
copying the document in this way does not preserve the original font and µm
is transposed as mm.
Perhaps the solution is to use <find and replace> mm in the copied document to
correct this? It would need to be done manually to prevent a correct double
mm from being changed to µm.
