I am using PdfGraphics2D to write a JFreeChart to PDF.
iText scales the text significantly larger in the PDF file than it
appears in a Java window. For example, the tick mark labels down the
sides of my chart overlap in the PDF file, but they are practically
double-spaced in the original chart.
These screenshots illustrate the difference between my Java window and
the PDF file:

I am using plain old fonts for everything on the Java2D side (e.g.,
"SansSerif", Font.PLAIN, 16) and the DefaultFontMapper on the iText side.
In Adobe Reader, the Document Properties for the PDF says there is one
font used in the document: Helvetica, Type: Type 1, Encoding: Ansi,
Actual Font: ArialMT, Actual Font Type: TrueType.
If I reduce the font size on the Java side by 50%, then the PDF looks
better, but then the text is too small on the Java side.
It seems that a font size conversion is misbehaving, or there is some
discrepancy in coordinate systems resulting in text filling too large of
a space.
Thanks for your advice.
