[dvipdfmx] missing annotation rectangle if the box contains no glyph

[Shunsaku Hirata]

The following example should work:

\documentclass[dvipdfmx]{article}
\begin{document}
Some \special{pdf:bann <<
  /Type /Annot
  /Subtype /Link
  /Dest [@page1 /Fit]
>>
}{\Huge\phantom{text}}\special{pdf:eann} goes here
\end{document}


Thanks,
Shunsaku Hirata
