interesting news - the coding depends on which characters really used in the text of the complete course (with the same font)
tests are made with Firefox - therefore the "good" view of non-printable characters
decoding
txt = txt.replaceAll("\uE000", "f");
txt = txt.replaceAll("\uE001", "ff");
txt = txt.replaceAll("\uE002", "fi");
txt = txt.replaceAll("\uE003", "fl");
txt = txt.replaceAll("\uE004", "ffi");
txt = txt.replaceAll("\uE005", "ffl");
Example 1: in the course is used "f – ff – fi – fl - ffi – ffl (Stoffflasche)"
Example 2: in the course is used "f – ff – fl - ffi – ffl (Stoffflasche)" <- no "fi" used (same decoding)
=> decode of "fl", "ffi", ffl" has different results!
=> don't use fonts with legatures, if you want to grab the vector text !
=> you can use e.g. font "Articulate" (no ligature at all) for the vector text

Or you could add all the ligatures in an offstage text box in the first slide which would/should make it predictable.
