Clean pdffonts output to avoid invalid UTF-8 characters #134

Open tbk303 opened 9 years ago

I came across some weird PDF files for which pdffonts outputs invalid UTF-8 chars. This results in a "invalid UTF-8 ..." exception when matching NO_TEXT_DETECTED.

If Ruby 1.9/2.0 compatability is required, I can also extend this pull request with some scrub-polyfill.
