btw, When testing your example I noticed that sumatra pdf (which i use
    as viewer) doesn't handle selecting the cjk text well. I looked at the
    source (on github) and get the impression that it might be some font
    bbox issue (these asian fonts have hugee bboxes); (also old) acrobat
    and
    browsers do fine as does an old windows okular I have installed.
Does anyone know of a minimalistic mupdf based pdf viewer that has a
    decent gui but not all this (semi) epub, xps, reflow, etc stuff on
    board? Just the mupdf pdf core.
perhaps the mupdf app for android.
the windows mupdf viewer is somewhat crippled (no selection) but 
searching for something shows the right bbox
...
Another one is  evince for windows:
https://portableapps.com/apps/office/evince_portable 
https://portableapps.com/apps/office/evince_portable
I tried it and it does the selection ok (but it's some 60MB so not lean 
and mean).
I also tried xpdfreader (some 30B) which also selects ok.
