> FontBox (tested versions 1.7.0 and 1.8.2) can't load CMap entries if they're not properly separated by whitespace making it problematic to extract the text from such PDFs. Test case and a proposed patch attached. The patch is tiny but in case it matters: it is in public domain, no credit necessary, please feel free to relicence it as you see fit.
