Thank you Merlijn, this is very helpful. I'm very interested in IA's process so I'll have a deep dive through those tools. This confirms my suspicions that there's no way to use an off-the-shelf text editor with a glyphless font. I'll explore these hOCR editor options. All the best,
As I understand it the main reason that there is no 'editor' for PDFs with text is that the text in PDFs in inherently not structured in a hierarchical manner, so by going from hOCR (or another format) -> PDF text you lose a lot of structure. Even the PDF text reading order might differ per PDF renderer - it's just text rendered in a coordinate space, so it's not a particular good fit for 'editing'.
