Hi, and thanks for the Andika font.
I'm writing a Java application which uses Apache PDFBox and the Andika font to write some strings into a PDF.
Everything is working fine, until I write some strings containing "ff" (or multiples: "ffff","ffffff", etc.): at this point the "ff" substring can be displayed in the PDF, but it's not properly selectable, like if it was an image not text.

I thought it was an issue with PDFBox, but changing the font to, for example, the included Helvetica gives the expected results.
At the same time, I tried to write some strings in LibreOffice Writer with Andika, and I saw that when writing "ff" the first "f" changes automatically (it becomes larger).

Is there some kind of mechanism doing some automatic magic transformation here?
If so, is there some way to disable it from an external software (PDFBox, LibreOffice, etc.)?
Thanks,
