Thanks for the regression. The problem here is that "bold:" has two fonts since "bold" is italicised and ":" not, so before the patch, "bold:" is a TextWord and pdftotext get the text right, but drawing the selection is bad since the selected ":" would be drawn italicised. After the patch, "bold:" gets splitted up into "bold" and ":" so it gets drawn correctly when selected, but you have the regression you pointed out. So, I believe I am stuck with this choice:
a). I could either allow more than one font on a TextWord, and adapt the code that draws the TextWord to use that fact, so the selected ":" does not get transform to a italicised ":" when drawing it. b) or I could fix the TextDumper to be aware of the fact in some cases there is no space between two TextWord. c) Do you have another way? I think I want to take approach a) even if it could more complicated, but approach b) seems that it could break more things that it would fix... thinking that when doing selection by words would not work at all.
