I found the code Ray referred to back in '09. It is now in GetUTF8Text().
In baseapi.cpp in TessBaseAPI::GetUTF8Text I changed:
*ptr++ = ' ';
to
{
int i ;
for ( i = 0 ; i < word->word->space() ; i++ )
*ptr++ = ' ';
}
This added back in the multiple spaces as advertised. The results are a bit
unpredictable (as Ray warned back in '09).
I'll keep poking at it.
