I took a detailed look at the PDF in question, using Acrobat Pro XI I get "IN NoRtheRN IReLAND" and I always get the same result if I copy & paste, export plain text, or export accessible text. OS X Preview gives the same result, as does Chrome's PDF viewer.

I really don't think that Acrobat is using the span tags to repair the ToUnicode table (how would it know the table was bad? What if the span tags were bad?). Andreas, what version of Acrobat did you use? Given that every PDF viewer I've tried produces the same text in all cases, I'd say that PDFBox's behaviour is correct.

> The font descriptor flags are not set.
> They are described in the document "PDF reference 1.7" at : 5.7.1 Font Descriptor Flags
> The methods in PDFontDescriptor are ready but never called :
> setFlags()
> setSerif()
> setAllCap() which is used in a lot of PDF
> ...
> I saw some TODO that relate to that issue in the code, is it planned to be implemented soon?
