If they desperately want to keep this new format, one could add 2
different hOCR formats, like hocr and hocr-detailed or so to cuneiform.

However, one could also use my initial style bbox per character
annocation and their new whole span bbox. However, I see no reason for
thiis imprecise and hard to parse span after span x_bboxes, per glyph
bbox's would retain compatibility with hocr2pdf and also get higher
precision as the x_bboxes do not contain the individual heights, ...

Font size not correct in merged sandvich PDF

Status in Linux port of Cuneiform: Confirmed

Bug description:
After processing with Cuneiform for Linux 1.0.0 and hOCR to PDF converter, version 0.7.4 (should be the most current version) I get a sandvich pdf that looks nice until I select text.

See the sample 5AADFEE1-0000.* files in the attachment and the result.pdf.
The effect is shown in screen087.png

For another file (Test10pages.pdf) the effect is either worse - basically I cannot really select any more text to copy because I only can guess where to move with the mouse.

It looks like that the font size in the HTML is somehow not correct - I am not an expert, but this link might help you:
