> When using the following override method of PDFTextStripper I am getting a large difference in values for TextPosition.getWidthOfSpace() between version 1.8.6 and pdfbox-2.0.0-20150611.100833-1423

> @Override
>  protected void processTextPosition(TextPosition textPos)
>  {
>     float spaceWidth = textPos.getWidthOfSpace();
>     float width = textPos.getWidth();
