[jira] [Updated] (PDFBOX-1648) FontBox can't load CMaps with no spaces between tokens

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1648?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Kevin Pearcey updated PDFBOX-1648:
----------------------------------
    Attachment: cmap.diff

Latest fix for CMapParser not using correct delimiter checks (as opposed to believing the CMap files are badly formatted and the code it perfect!)

> 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.
