[poppler] Preventing missalignment of 'misused' enumeration chars

Hi,


Using pdftotext with -layout we see a problem that when enumeration chars 
are used in tables to make pretty think dots, these chars end up at the 
beginning of the line as '*'

Like:

   1.1 * Bla bla bla;


Instead of:

   1.1 Bla bla bla      *


When another character is used in the pdf which also looks like a thick 
dot, but is transformed to the letter 'l' it is positioned at the right 
place.


Could anyone give a hint where in TextOutputDev.cc the 'enumerations' or 
left alignment is arranged? I have attached a pdf document that fails.
