Many thanks for the information, Johannes! I have played with *textord_max_noise_size *and it turned out that noise in my particular case is not removed even when I set *textord_max_noise_size=45*. Above that value almost all other characters have been considered as noise.
However *textord_heavy_nr=1* worked well for me. It looks like this very setting works on its own and does not depend on values for other settings mentioned.
