Further info:

If xpdf generated the following output:
drawChar 462.400000 770.989000 466.900000 770.989000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000
1.000000 12.000000 ة

then sdext pdfimport will produce the following Transformation values, in the
order in the metrics: (assume this is the rCurGC):

            (0,0)   (0,1)   (0,2)       (1,0)   (1,1)       (1,2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
rCurGC:     1200    0       46240       0       1200        5674.08

If xpdf generated the following: 
drawChar 466.900000 770.989000 469.828000 770.989000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000
1.000000 12.000000 ي

then in sdext pdfimport the Transformation values are: (assume this is the
rNextGC):
            (0,0)   (0,1)   (0,2)       (1,0)   (1,1)       (1,2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
rNextGC:    1200    0       46690       0       1200        5674.08

Apparently rCurGC.Transformation != rNextGC.Transformation. The different is in
the (0,2): one is 46240, the other one is 46690. What are these two values? the
position of the characters on the page??

Below is the full output of rCurGC.Transformation and rNextGC.Transformation:
(this is generated by adding a SAR_WARN below line
aGlyph.getGC().Transformation = totalTextMatrix1;
in file pdfiprocessor.cxx:
    SAL_WARN("sdext.pdfimport", "drawGlyphs: " 
        << aGlyph.getGC().Transformation.get(0,0) << ", "
        << aGlyph.getGC().Transformation.get(0,1) << ", "
        << aGlyph.getGC().Transformation.get(0,2) << ", "
        << aGlyph.getGC().Transformation.get(1,0) << ", "
        << aGlyph.getGC().Transformation.get(1,1) << ", "
        << aGlyph.getGC().Transformation.get(1,2) << ", "
    );

rCurGC: 1200 0 46240 0 1200 5674.08
rCurGC: 1200 0 46690 0 1200 5674.08

rCurGC: 1200 0 53093.2 0 1200 5674.08

As you can see, all other values are the same, but the value in position (0,1)
of the metrics is increasing one by one. I think this value should not be used
to determine whether these characters should be combined into a string.

This is beyond my knowledge as it involves the basegfx::B2DHomMatrix staff
which I know nothing, so it need an expert to investigate.
