Created attachment 139972 [details] pdf test case A simpler example is (from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/111) is: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} TODO $TODO$ \end{document} which pdftotext extracts as: ------- TODO T ODO 1 ------- A consequence is that searching for 'TODO' only finds the first line, but there is not match for the second one. Even more, Poppler-glib (cairo backend), the second TODO is rendered with a slight space between T and O. Acroread and Foxit renders the text as expected, and find both lines when searching for 'TODO'. -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.

Compiling the below XeLaTeX document, I get the attached PDF file. \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{Theano Didot} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setmainlanguage[variant=ancient]{greek} \setotherlanguage{english} \begin{document} χαλεπὰ \addfontfeature{LetterSpace=12}τὰ καλά χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά χαλεπὰ \addfontfeature{LetterSpace=0}τὰ καλά \selectlanguage{english} Beauty \addfontfeature{LetterSpace=12}is difficult Beauty is difficult Beauty \addfontfeature{LetterSpace=0}is difficult \end{document} The issue with this PDF file is that text is extracted in the following way: χαλεπὰ τ ὰ κ α λ ά χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά χ α λ ε π ὰ τὰ καλά Beauty i s d i ffi c u l t Beauty is difficult B e a u t y is difficult Although there should be no spaces between letters, only between words. Could you fix this? Thanks, Pablo
