I'll second this. I also see difference in either text sizes or field
width causing line wrapping in several places in PCL but not PDF with
the same file. The workaround is to allow a fudge factor in the
field/table row/table height sizes, but this can cause text overlapping
or large blank areas, so it's hardly ideal.

I'm curious as to the differences between how distances are measured
between different output formats. I've been trying to get a sheet of
address labels to align correctly and am noticing a vast difference
between how they are rendered in a PDF vs how they appear in PCL.
I use a combination of Eclipse and the Orangevolt XSLT plugin to
develop my style sheets and generate PDFs on a WinXP box because I can
quickly see the results. Ultimately, the documents will be rendered on
an AIX system, normally (though not always) as PCL. There are
instances where the same document can be rendered in either of these
two formats, and that's why these differences make me nervous.
In the case of the mailing labels, I'm noticing about a 1mm difference
in height for the table cells. PDF cells are right at 26mm and PCL at
27mm. That sounds like a very slight difference, but it adds up to a
1cm difference over the ten rows of the sheet of labels. Also, the top
margin has a difference of about 5mm between the two formats, with the
first table row starting at 17mm in the PDF output and about 12mm for
the PCL version.
Can anyone give any insight? Is this just a driver thing?
I am running the 0.95beta on both machines. The fo is attached if
you're interested.
Thanks for the help!
