It's perfectly natural that every letter in a word be in a different font,
colour, or style so that needs to be allowed for (the text could even a scan of
some handwriting, or several scans), .  ...what pdftotext is trying to do is to
replicate what would be found in a Tagged PDF (Section 9.7 of the PDF
Reference), effectively synthesising what would ideally be found in
'/BMC.../EMC' '/ActualText' contents.

To that end I'm inclined to agree that (b) sounds like non-ideal kludge on top
of non-ideal kludge.
