DrawPrintTextLocations doesn't match character box
Hello. The boxes drawn with DrawPrintTextLocations for the following PDF file (simplification of a real-life doc) are not what I expected (they contain a lot of white space): http://www.filedropper.com/minimunsample
See the output here: http://www.filedropper.com/minimunsample-marked-1
Please note: if I select the text in Adobe Reader, the selection is bigger than expected, too.
What is wrong? Can I somehow get the smaller box that encloses the char or, at least, tell that something is wrong?
The font is a Type3 font.

Hi,
One can't get the bounding box from a path because it's a PDF stream.
All we have there is the first PDF operator from the charproc, here:
"0.602 0 -0.35 -0.968 0.734 1.075 d1". If that one is incorrect... too bad.
