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

             Summary: Wrong widthOfSpace
                 Key: PDFBOX-1755
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1755
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 1.8.3
         Environment: Java 7, JRuby
            Reporter: Manuel Aristaran
         Attachments: tabla_subsidios.pdf

For some TextPositions in this particular PDF (after being processed with PDFStreamEngine), the getWidthOfSpace returns 0.

I've traced the bug to `processEncodedText` in `PDFStreamEngine`: when  `spaceWidthText` is converted to display units, `textMatrix.getValue(0,0)` returns 0. Being a factor in the conversion expression, sets the result to 0.

float spaceWidthDisp = spaceWidthText * fontSizeText * horizontalScalingText * textMatrix.getValue(0, 0)
                    * ctm.getValue(0, 0);
