[xep-support] Re: Encoding spaces at line ends and between words

Hi Fritz,

and thank you for your tests, very much appreciated! I was not sure if
we have a problem with our PDFs or if the problem is with the PDF
viewer. My conclusion so far is, that it is a problem of the viewer.
When I open the PDF with the build in Firefox PDF viewer and copy it to
notepad++ I get

====
Gender, in contrast, is a
social,
not a biological characteristic.
Gender
consists of what-
ever behaviors and attitudes a group considers proper for its males and
females. Conse-
quently, gender varies from one society to another. Whereas
sex
refers to male or female,
gender
refers to masculinity or femininity. In short, you inherit your sex, but
you learn
your gender as you are socialized into the behaviors and attitudes your
culture asserts are
appropriate for your sex.
====

So obviously when the lines are joined without adding a space at end of
line words get concatenated. And that's the problem we observe with PDF
annotation tools like hypothes.is

Thanks again and best wishes

Armin

PS. Sorry for posting my question twice - I thought that my first mail
was not delivered due to a not registered sender address.
