             Summary: widthOfSpace() appears wrong in TextPosition
                 Key: PDFBOX-2843
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2843
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
         Environment: JDK 8 on Windows 7
            Reporter: Richard Wolfgram
             Fix For: 1.8.6


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();
    System.out.println(textPos.getCharacter() + " - Width of Space=" + 
spaceWidth + " - width=" + width);
    builder.append(textPos.getCharacter());
 }

In 1.8.6 average character width is around 5 and space width is around 2.5

In 2.0 average character width is around 5 and space width is around 27
