It works fine using "pdftotext -raw" but without "-raw" it fails. The asterism
is drawn using 3 asterisks. Adding the following debug statements:

--- a/poppler/TextOutputDev.cc
+++ b/poppler/TextOutputDev.cc
@@ -4518,8 +4518,10 @@ void ActualText::addChar(GfxState *state, double x,
double y,
                         double dx, double dy,
                         CharCode c, int nBytes, Unicode *u, int uLen) {
   if (actualTextBMCLevel == 0) {
+      printf("addChar %f %f %f %f '%c'\n", x, y, dx, dy, c);
     text->addChar(state, x, y, dx, dy, c, nBytes, u, uLen);
   } else {
+      printf("actualText %f %f %f %f '%c'\n", x, y, dx, dy, c);
     // Inside ActualText span.


I get the output:

It looks like the y position of the asterisks makes TextOutputDev think the
asterisks are not on the same line.
