Bug#374343: bash-doc bashref.pdf typos: apparently %s/ fi/ /g in some sections

[Michael Schutte]

I believe that the bug has to do with ligatures rather than the sequence
`fi' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographical_ligature).  Probably
the used font is lacking the appropriate ligature, or xpdf cannot handle
it correctly.

 There are a number of examples in the bashref.pdf file included in the
 3.1-2ubuntu10 version of bash-doc where the letters fi are missing
 from the beginning of a word.  Examples include:
 
 p. 69 (PDF reader page 75):
 
 If arguments remain after option processing, and neither the '-c' nor
 the '-s' option has been supplied, the rst [sic] argument is assumed to
 be the name of a le [sic] containing shell commands ...
Mine looks correct, using xpdf 3.01-8.

 I am using xpdf 3.01 to view.  The search feature does not seem to
 believe that the text above contains name of a le, suggesting that
 the text is not actually le, but contains an invisible character (the
 search does not find name of a file, either.
I can confirm this.  I can't find 'file' in that sentence.
