The ... unavailable in encoding OT1 error means, as Herbert said, that your problem is related to your font encoding and can be solved by loading the appropriate font encoding.
As you said you are new to LaTeX, maybe you want to also read What packages do people load by default, where you can learn that if you load T1 font encoding, you should usually also load a vector font, for example lmodern, and probably the babel package (the order does not matter).
Also you could consider to use utf8 as input encoding instead of cp1252, because today most editors do support utf8 and maybe at some point your input will have characters that are not available in cp1252. But you can as well switch any time later.
Maybe some time later you want references, then you should take a look at biblatex and biber.
Putting all these hints together, you get a MWE that looks like this (as an answer to your question the 4 lines fontenc...lmodern are sufficient):
\documentclass[
a4paper,
final
]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % font encoding
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % input encoding
\usepackage[french]{babel} % keyword translation and hyphenation
\usepackage{lmodern} % lmodern looks better than cm-super
\usepackage[
babel=true,
verbose=true
]{microtype}
\usepackage[]{graphicx} % if you want figures
\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes} % quotes
\usepackage[
backend=biber,
style=authoryear-icomp,
sortlocale=fr_FR,
natbib=true,
url=false,
doi=true,
eprint=false
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib} % just an example
%\addbibresource{\jobname.bib} % include your own bib file
\usepackage[]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
colorlinks=true,
}

Best Answer
glyphtounicode and cmap
The X and Y are probably not the problems.
With reference to page 7 in the MinioPro-manual, to make figures and ligatures searchable, you need to enable
glyphtounicodetranslation and load the default mapping table:glyphtounicodewas included in my MikTeX-distribution, but if it is not included in yours, you can find it at Sarovar.This solution works with all fonts.
If you are using computer modern as font, you may try adding:
I also tried
cmap, but it still not make the special glyphs searchable. In addition, I tried the tex-gyre fontthermes(similar totimes)The glyphs are not searchable (but should have been).
I guess this is because the glyphs are not defined in the font and therefore Tex constructs them by combining two other glyphs. I do not have the skills to help you further, but may be @egreg can: Copy Czech characters from PDF with charter font
newtx and tgtermes
Regarding
newtx, this MWE compiles on my system, but the Czech characters are not searchable:You have to extend the
glyphtounicode-table with the Czech characters.I have no time to look into that now, but perhaps some of the tex-wizards may help. I believe it is so simple as to provide some commands in the form:
Where the first parameter is the code from the font and the second the Unicode-representative.
