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

Hi all,
Is there a way to control how spaces at line ends and between words with different styles are encoded into PDF? There seems to be no space encoded at line ends and between words with different styles (e.g. bold/italics/normal). When we use PDF annotation tools on our PDFs generated by XEP (or simply want to copy text from PDFs generated by XEP) words/lines are concatenated as in the following example taken from a RenderX demo document (http://www.renderx.com/files/demos/examples/CH11.pdf):
Gender, in contrast, is a *social,not* a biological characteristic. *Genderconsists* 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 *sexrefers* to male or *female,genderrefers* to masculinity or femininity. In short, you inherit your sex, but you *learnyour* gender as you are socialized into the behaviors and attitudes your culture asserts *areappropriate* for your sex.*Text copied from http://www.renderx.com/files/demos/examples/CH11.pdf with *missing spaces*
Is there a way to have real spaces encoded and not just positioning of text in PDFs here? The result should look like this text:
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.
Thanks!Armin
