    Description

      This was detected by looking at the result of a regression test thankfully done by tallison@apache.org (see at the end of PDFBOX-4371) for his work in TIKA-2779, there were many new words but some didn't have the spaces. This is the result of a bad angle (180 instead of 0), because the font matrix hasn't been considered, for type 3 fonts this is often a rotation or a flip.
