John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-3028:
-------------------------------------
It's definitely odd. Ignoring any char-spacing/word-spacing a space is almost
always going to be between 0.2 to 0.3 em. For justified paragraphs, lets say
0.1 to 0.4 em. A better approach might be to estimate the font's size in pt and
then derive the space size from that as a percentage.
