------------------------------

would you please check this issue again? Semi-spaces is very common in different non-english languages.

> In some right-to-left languages, compound words are separated using "semi-space" (please take a look at Unicode spaces: https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars/spaces.html). When the input document contains these words, PDFTextStripper neglects semi-space character and concatenates words together.
