Description
Re-Combining of the text stream does not work as
- .x and .width are in different coordinate systems pdffont.js
- width has some added magic number and additions
- and the modified coordinates are assumed in the same coordinate system for bounding box comparison

Research direction
Start by reading pdffont.js and tracing how .x and .width are produced and compared during text-stream recombination. Confirm which values use each coordinate system and identify the source of the width adjustments; done means bounding-box comparisons recombine the text stream correctly without inconsistent coordinates.
