> 2 Changes
> 1) The first is to make getDefaultAppearance in PDVariableText public and
> make a set method
> 2) Add a second setAppearanceValue(String apValue, float fontSize) in
> PDAppearance and add a secoind setValue in PDField (and all implementing
> classes) so we can make use of it.
> 1 - This was added as we needed to change the default appearance of text
> fields as we found that if you have two fields of the same name they are
> grouped under a parent field. The parent fields formatting is wrong (probably
> some default) so we needed to change it to that of the child as it was this
> formatting used for the display text and not that of the child (although if
> you edit the PDF you see the child properties listed)
> 2 - The font calculation in setValue takes into account the box size. The
> problem we had is that we wanted to font to be 48pt no mater what. We knew
> the width was right and the the box was not high enough, but we needed this
> as by shirnking the text to fit we lost the ability to use it (We were using
> barcodes where the width is important, it does not mater if the height is
> chopped down).
> These changes were made to the 0.7.3 code
