He's actually quite responsive. Only his xpdf releases could be a
bit more frequent...

That's good to know. Not sure whether the spacing issue is the
right warm-up exercise (pdf font handling is very quirky, and I
already forwarded this to Derek, anyway), but I won't stop you from
trying your luck :)
The problem is that xpdf ignores the horizontal width of the
character \0 (which is the space character in the font's charmap)
when updating the x position during text output.
The update of x/y happens in xpdf/Gfx.cc, in the function doShowText().
