ODT file demonstrating the bug.

Problem description: A typographical ligature is defined in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_%28typography%29.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Write text in french (making sure styling meta-data says it's french text).
2. Search stings "fi" and "ffi" and replace them with their ligatured unicode
characters U+FB01 and U+FB03, respectively, in preparation for publication.
3. Start spellcheck.

Current behavior:
Spellcheck correctly understands ligatures in english. Fails to recognize words
containing "fi" and "ffi" ligatures in french. However, searching of words with
or without the ligature works correctly.

Expected behavior:
The spellchecker should translate ligatures to their decomposed form before
performing the check. Alternatively, the dictionary should contain words in
both their ligatured or decomposed forms, whatever LibreOffice does with
english text.

Operating System: Linux (Other)
