[iText-questions] tahoma 8 in doc is diff. as in pdf

[ddccpp ...]

Hi,

I wrote the following code:


import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Vector;


import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte;

import com.lowagie.text.Image;



import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.Font;
import com.lowagie.text.Phrase;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.ColumnText;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;


public class Text {

    public static void main(String[] args) {


        // step 1: creation of a document-object
        Document document = new Document();

        try {

            document.setPageSize(PageSize.A4);
            PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,new 
FileOutputStream("f:\\text.pdf"));
            
            document.open();
            
            PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
            
            BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont
("c:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts\\tahoma.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);
            
            Font ft8 = new Font(bf, 8);
            
            ColumnText.showTextAligned(cb, PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, 
new Phrase("Ez itt 8 es betűtípussal van írva. Se nem nagyobb, se nem 
kisebb.", ft8), 30, 100, 0);

            cb.stroke();
        }
        catch(DocumentException de) {
            System.err.println(de.getMessage());
        }
        catch(IOException ioe) {
            System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
        }

        // step 5: we close the document
        document.close();
    }
}


the output is: Ez itt 8 es betűtípussal van írva. Se nem nagyobb, se 
nem kisebb.
I made a doc file too. The font type is tahoma, and the font size is 8 as 
by the pdf.
When I print the two documents, the size of the text is different. (pdf 
78 mm, doc 81 mm)
Somebody knows why?

thanks,

Gabor
