It's perfectly natural that every letter in a word be in a different font, colour, or style so that needs to be allowed for (the text could even a scan of some handwriting, or several scans), . ...what pdftotext is trying to do is to replicate what would be found in a Tagged PDF (Section 9.7 of the PDF Reference), effectively synthesising what would ideally be found in '/BMC.../EMC' '/ActualText' contents.
To that end I'm inclined to agree that (b) sounds like non-ideal kludge on top of non-ideal kludge. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39890 Title: characters change when selecting text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/39890/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
