Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-5487:
-----------------------------------------
Apparently the first character ("ة") is the same in both but looks different,
and same with the second ("ي"). I guess this happens in arabic if there is a
space between. I wonder if the space that precedes the word "" is moved to the
right, because of some confusing decision about LTR / RTL languages?
