Thank you for the really detailed explanation! In this particular regression we have a sort of ligature, so ToUnicode should work, but I understand why it isn't sufficient in the more general case. I'll try to do a best-effort implementation of ActualText for pdfminer/pdfplumber, since as you say it gets used for the smallest span of text necessary, and since text extraction is best-effort by definition anyway. I haven't checked to see if poppler, qpdf, pdfium, and company are working on ActualText support... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
