Tres Finocchiaro commented on PDFBOX-4709:
------------------------------------------
[~tilman] we're still actively working with the JDK support provider. We're
able to get results that are improved, but still can't match the quality of
Adobe.
Quoting:
{quote}The workaround solution would be to use {{graphics.drawString(),}} but
this would work only on fonts based on type1 or truetype fonts.
{quote}
Since *drawString(...)* is a viable workaround which is a tradeoff between font
accuracy and font compatibility (per ttf/type1 quote), is there a viable way to
support *drawString()* as some type of advanced option? This way the user has
the ability to choose one technique over the other. The solutions we're
working on are better, but still none of them compare to the quality of
drawString(), even when forcing a GDI precision value 10,000x. It's improved,
but not as accurate as simply using drawString().
