Public bug reported: [Impact] PDF documents OCRed with tesseract show black boxes when selecting text
[Test case] Run ocrmypdf on a pdf, open it in evince, select some text. You should not see black boxes. [Regression potential] The patch is minimal invasive and only changes the behavior for the tesseract glyphless font.
