Created attachment 24993 [details]
look at page 12 (1-based) to reproduce.

Word separation not recognized in attached file.
`mutool draw -o test.txt test.pdf` does not recognize word breaks and delivers:
"sureenough,bothfellwiththesameaccelerationandreachedthe"
instead of:
"sure enough, both fell with the same acceleration and reached the"

    Set space width in fz_font for use with stext-device.
    
    Base missing space detection on values scaled with the font's actual
    space width when it is available.
