[poppler] getText() broken?

[Albert Astals Cid]

Well, the getText Qt binding is not as good as it can be, trust me, i made 
it :-D

Don't know about hyphens, dashes, etc, but about ligatures the problem is 
probably that they are not two characters but a "strange" character that 
represents the ligature itself so the translations is not easy (if possible) 
to do, maybe the dashes/etc have the same problem.
