Describe the bug (mandatory)

The positional information extracted through the Page.get_text('words', flags=fitz.TEXT_INHIBIT_SPACES) method has a deviation.

To Reproduce (mandatory)

words_test.pdf

pymupdf version is 1.23.5

The code belows can reproduces the bug

document = fitz.open('data/word_test.pdf') page = document.load_page(0) words = page.get_text('words', flags=fitz.TEXT_INHIBIT_SPACES) for word in words: rect =fitz.Rect(word[0], word[1], word[2], word[3]) color = (0, 1, 0) page.draw_rect(rect, color) document.save('word_test_new.pdf')

The text boxes extracted through the Page.get_text('words', flags=fitz.TEXT_INHIBIT_SPACES) contain some abnormal blocks that seem much larger than I anticipated. Is there room for optimization that I might be missing?

This file has an illegal font specification in that it uses "Identity-H" encoding for a non-embedded font (SimSun). This seems to cause confusion wRT character sizes (causing the extremely high bboxes). All this is outside control of PyMuPDF and has to be looked at by the MuPDF experts. Do you want to submit a bug there? https://bugs.ghostscript.com/enter_bug.cgi

I see no difference - where are the deviations?
