I try that next week. Then I'm going to write again. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 2. Juni 2006 10:42 An: [email protected] Betreff: Re: font size and white spaces
Rainer, I think this is a result of font metrics. The font metrics in TrueType fonts are a mess (various fonts interpreting the values differently). I've recently look into this and I think I have been able to improve the metrics handling for TrueType fonts [1]. For Type 1 fonts the metrics situation is a lot clearer and that's why Type 1 fonts work better. [1] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/changes.html#version_FOP%20Trunk ("Bugfix: Improved baseline detection in TTFReader for TrueType fonts. (JM)") Would you please do me a favor and test your documents with the latest FOP from Subversion? Or at least you have to regenerate the font metrics for the font again with the TTFReader from FOP Trunk. I've just tested it it the result was better with your snippet.

White spaces are much smaller there. Why?
