That's beause we think the PDF says CU ISINE, firefox thinks the same. Recreating text from PDF is a dark art because all PDF gives you is position of each character and character, so it's sometimes not easy to figure out if two characters form a word or not, in this case we're failing, but potentially fixing this could make other places where we correctly detect two words think it's only one, needs investigation. |
