\pdfinterwordspaceon doesn't work in miktex

[u-fischer]

• [x] I have read and acknowledged this HOWTO article:
  Submitting a MiKTeX problem report

The font needed by pdftex for the \pdfinterwordspaceon is missing in miktex

\documentclass{article}

\pdfinterwordspaceon
\begin{document}
hello world
\end{document}

errors with

! Font \csname\endcsname=pdftexspace not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.

TeXlive uses

c:/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/pdftex/pdftexspace.tfm
c:/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/pdftex/pdftexspace.pfb

(the font name is new, in texlive 2022 pdftex would have used dummy-space.tfm)
