The "tt" ligature is not the only one; this behavior is consistent regardless of the ligature.
This is the kind of problem that I’m interested in.
It’s to do with providing (or not) a /ToUnicode map for all characters
in the subset of the font that is actually used within the document.
Would you please send (directly to me) a complete PDF where this is apparent.
If there’s sensitive information, please just make the cover page,
or how little is needed to capture the problem.
Then I’ll be able to see what resources are actually provided internally.
I’m really surprised that Acrobat Pro produces this.
What happens if you use Preview as the viewer?
– then Copy/Paste into BBEdit and/or TextEdit, or other text editing software?
Best,
Stephen

This avoids the warnings, tho I couldn't reproduce borisveytsman#167 to confirm. Still, this should work according to the explanation in borisveytsman#294 (comment).
