MRIT64 commented on TIKA-331:
-----------------------------

Spacing issue
--------------------

Look at lines 10 and 11 in test2.pdf.
Look at  lines 11 and 12 in  Tika parsing result (Parsing_result2.txt) :

ðLocalisation des zones de livraison et de stockage
ðLocalisation des zones dangereuses

There is no space between ð and Localisation (ð is the translation of Winding's 
"Rightwards white arrow" by Tika).

If you copy and paste lines 10 and 11 in test2.pdf into a Notepad Window, you 
get :

ð Localisation des zones de livraison et de stockage
ð Localisation des zones dangereuses

...with a space between ð and Localisation.

In my case, the missing space after Tika parsing result in considering 
"ðLocalisation" as a word in following processes.

> I have PDF files that include some characters in Windings font.
> Tika parser replaces them with some Unicode characters that have nothing to 
> do with the original, and, in some cases, replaces them with alphabetic 
> characters (that is normal regarding these characters codes).
> Would it be possible to improve the parsing and remplace these characters 
> with more accurate Unicode characters ?
> (see http://www.alanwood.net/demos/wingdings.html for possible 
> correspondences).
> I will attach examples files when this issue will be created  (would it be 
> possible to attach files directly when creating issues ?)
