We're using iText to render rich text to PDF on both Windows and Mac. To output text we use PdfContentByte.createGraphicsShapes() and then standard Java Graphics2D methods (same code draws on screen and during PDF export).
Here's a problem. We have a Type 1 font from high quality font set that looks different on screen and on exported page. The difference is rather peculiar and can be described as "round shapes become more like a diamond". Many if not all gplyphs that have round portions are affected. I can e-mail and/or attach a sample screenshot or PDF file. Is this a known effect? I suspect that we can fix this by implementing separate text drawing for PDF export and avoiding Graphics2D code path altogether. Though time is rather tight right now (isn't it always :) and we'd like to try less labor-intensive options first. What can we try to cure this?
