cutting and pasting from any tex-ish pdf tends to be dodgy. there are
methods ([cm]map packages, for example) that get better text out, but
they'll never cope with a knuth/lamport "stupid logo" (tm).
that said, i've never seen that particular oddity, so it may be a
special oddity of your pdf viewer (i tend only to use acrorubbish
viewer, but go to xpdf in extremis).

the suggestion was new to me, too, and my home machine has a crocked old
lm font distribution, so it probably won't work here. for the
ligatures, as well as the weird character codes, the *map packages are
the way to go, in general.
