Have you seen the methods getStrikethroughOffset() and getUnderlineOffset() on LineMetrics? I've used the StrikethroughOffset but left in your method of determining the underline position. > btw: On my wp, the top of a superscript appears to lie 1 or 2 graphics > units above the uppercase ascender; I guess I'd try putting the overline > a hair above that. How would you express that in Java? getAscent() returns values that result overlines to be printed over the previous line's underline position. That's why I took "0.8 * getAscent()". > >And there are sporadic hiccups with the inline > >space text decorations which probably are a result of poor rounding. > >I haven't found out yet. > > I don't doubt that - you might notice several places in AwtRenderer > (marked aml/rlc) where we tweaked the integer arithmetic slightly > to avoid such hiccups. > > On the larger issue of printing, I've made no progress yet; am hoping > to get to it in a day or two; btw: I noticed that in another post Peter is > testing expectations for 0.20.4 -- at the very least, when that starts > getting real, it will light a fire under me re printing. ;-) > > Thanks for your help. You're welcome. Often too little time, but working on it...
