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.

indeed, my collegue does something like that (per project actually) and 
updates when things come out the same (or better or when some new 
feature is needed)

right, and thanks to that rapid feedback we were able to advance and 
cleanup the engine quite a bit as well as apply new features to context; 
without users that test and apply and demand new features there wouild 
be no development

thanks,

Hans
