According to the C89 Rationale

Note: I have the C89 Rationale in PDF format. I an using an Ubuntu Linux
machine, and am viewing the file with the "Document Viewer" program. I
copied the text from that program, and pasted it into a Thunderbird
message window. All occurrences of "ff" and "fi" in the text got
converted to whitespace. Does anyone have any idea why that might have
happened?

I don't know why they appear as whitespace.  They *should* appear as ff
(FB00;LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF) and fl (FB02;LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FL).
But for something that old, it's not surprising that there are problems
with non-ASCII characters.

Do you have a URL for a PDF C89 Rationale?
