-------------------------------------------------------------
-I'm not getting combined characters for the umlaut with 2.0 trunk-.
Interestingly enough, Adobe Acrobat strips the umlaut and OSX Preview extracts
it as "fu ̈r", so it's not clear that we really need to be trying to combine it.
Update: Passing {{-encoding "UTF-8"}} to ExtractText gets me the combined
characters as expected.
