    Description

      Greek text extraction error
      Ι have a greek pdf but
      a) after extraction the greek letter π is extracted as pi

      for expamle
      original text in pdf
      "φυσικών προσώπων"

      extracted text
      "φυσικών piροσώpiων"

      b) the greek letter μ is displayed as µ
      there is no difference in display except that is different encoding and when searching for μ cannot find it (you find only the uppercase Μ)
      if you copy μ as displayed search for that is working fine

      e.g. the word is displayed as "κλίµακας" but it is different from the typed word κλίμακα due to the letter μ

      due to this problem solr is not indexing documents correctly

      is there any configuration I can make?
