Patch fixing the issue

Actually, All the chars in a TextWord MUST share the same font, so I
added a check so we also create a new word when the font changes. The
attached patch fixes the bug in the minimal example and many other
problems when selecting text in PdfLatex-generated files, but there are
still issues in rendering selections with Bitmapped fonts. In this case,
the glyph seems right but the size is wrong.

Bug description:
  I have problems with the following pdf:
  www.lacim.uqam.ca/~plouffe/OEIS/citations/MAS-R9821.pdf

  When marking text some characters change. This happens on many places
  in this pdf-file. To reproduce the bug just mark some random places in
  the pdf. In some places the text disappears. In some the characters
  change totally. In others the italics is removed.

  I use the latest update of dapper. Evince 0.5.2
