Hi,
as far as I know are ligatures (ff, ft, ...) special glyphs, i.e. the
two letters are represented by ONE symbol which (surprise?) is not
recognized by text processing software.

IMHO to recognize them should be a feature of programs like acroread
when marking and exportiung a region.
Is there any program known to offer a feature of this kind?
This raises a question: oolatex operates on the LaTeX output from LyX, and I
would have assumed that the conversion of ASCII text to ligatures (where
applicable) would normally take place when the LaTeX file is processed, not
when it is generated by LyX. Does LyX introduce ligatures in the LaTeX file?
I think it is as you describe it. Ligatures are created by tex, latex
when processing the ascii text file.
LyX as far as I know has nothing to do with them. (Although this could
be a feature of high quality rendering, but I wouldn't care much for that.)
If it doesn't, the problem is with oolatex or tex4ht (which is called by
oolatex).
I haven't been able to find any reference to a problem like this. Many people
Don't wonder, the Art of Typography has been damaged greatly by the
WYSIWYG ideology and the influence of the monopolist.
have trouble with oolatex -- but usually it either produces no output, or it
generates a .sxw file which OOo cannot open.
Best regards
Hellmut
