Public bug reported:

[Impact]
PDF documents OCRed with tesseract show black boxes when selecting text

[Test case]
Run ocrmypdf on a pdf, open it in evince, select some text. You should not see 
black boxes.

[Regression potential]
The patch is minimal invasive and only changes the behavior for the tesseract 
glyphless font.

[Other info]
Upstream is unhelpfully refusing to merge the patch in 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/merge_requests/208 because it's 
not abstract enough for them (as it only handles tesseract).
