Hi [~tilman]

I agree with your statement, especially I am working on the math expression
intensive papers.
The reason I want to create PDF document is to get the tight bounding box for
the glyph, which is critical for my analysis. For example, in the attached
file. I could not correctly get the tight bounding box of the glyph.

^I am using a different tool, but I will try pdfbox soon.^ ^My procedure is as
follows:^
# ^use the pdfbox to render the glyph as the pdfbox-debugger do. and on the
rendered image for the glyph to get how to adjust the top and bottom. Such as
the one with code 33, with glyph name "minus"^
^!image-2018-02-19-16-11-24-611.png!^
# ^Then I use pdfminer, which is a python tool to get the glyph bounding box
show in the red.^
^!image-2018-02-19-16-12-23-438.png!^
# ^I assume the black pixels in red bbox should be of the same portion w.r.t
the rendered bufferimage in step. But this is not true. For the minus in step
1, it's roughly in the middle, but for the red bbox, it's a bit in the upper
half.^
^I just tried the example in
[https://apache.googlesource.com/pdfbox/+/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/util/DrawPrintTextLocations.java]
to locate the exact bounding box, and it seems to works perfect fine.^

^I will try to repeat the process in pdfbox. If possible, could you point me
the procedures to get the glyph bbox?^

> As shown in the debugger, that the PDFType1Font map the code of 33 to
> "minus", but there is no unicode value associated with it.
> If we use the code `contentStream.showText("\u0021");` to add content, it
> will cause an error of following.
