Re: [iText-questions] fixed width units for font
1000 units corresponds to 1 unit in text space. 1 unit in text space is 1/72 inch.

I just can't figure out what the value assigned to the width array stands for (1000). I guess it can't be in PDF units, since it would then result into 1000/72=13.88 inches and that looks absurd when looking at the resulting PDF. In what units is it expressed ?

Re: [iText-questions] fixed width units for font
Paulo: Are you sure this is right? Here's an excerpt from Bruno's book, (p. 229): In glyph space, 1000 units corresponds with 1 unit in text space. For instance, for a 12-point font, 1000 units corresponds with 12 pts. Thanks in advance for any clarification. ---mr. bean Paulo Soares-3 wrote: 1000 units corresponds to 1 unit in text space. 1 unit in text space is 1/72 inch.

Re: [iText-questions] fixed width units for font
What I said is valid for 1 point font. It must be multiplied with the font size to get the final result. My answer was incomplete.
