Indeed, and that's not the only incorrectly rejected instruction.

According to ISO 32000-2:2020, _Figure 9 — Graphics objects_ does allow 
_General graphics state_ operators in text objects. And not only *w* is in this 
category, *w, J, j, M, d, ri, i, gs, q, Q* are.

Yes, in the 2020 update of ISO 32000-2 *q* and *Q* have become general graphics 
state operators, too. This might break some code. (Admittedly I only have 
access to the FDIS, so it would be great if someone could look up the final ISO 
32000-2:2020 and confirm.)

> PDPageContentStream.setLineWidth(float) incorrectly throws an exception that 
> setLineWidth is not allowed within a text block.  setLineWidth uses PDF 
> operator "w", which according to the PDF specification, it is allowed and is 
> used to set the stroke line width for text outlines when using either STROKE 
> or FILL_STROKE rendering modes.  This is shown on page 392 of the 
> specification at 
> [https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference_archive/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf]
>  in Example 5.4.
