<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Not sure if you are sending and old patch again or you are a new person doing the same mistake, but we have discussed this a few times, starting a new word when the font changes is wrong. As an example of why it is wrong your patch changes the output of pdftotext in <a href="http://wooster.hut.fi/kurssit/s88211/s88211MatlabProject.pdf" target="_blank">http://wooster.hut.fi/kurssit/s88211/s88211MatlabProject.pdf</a> from uses a channel model described in [4] to uses a channel model described in [4 ] </blockquote></div>I am a new person. If only the space after "[4" is a problem, I can fix it using the variable spaceAfter (TextOutputDev.cc). Another possibility is to store a GfxFont* array in TextWord, so that every letter has its own font. I tested this and it works fine, but the rest of poppler still acts as if one word had only one font. A word would have a "main font" and letters with individual fonts. It is not a very clean solution, but probably better than starting new words.
