I'm probably too late with this idea but if the difference of coordinate
system is bothering you too much, why not make it the same by calling
HPDF_Page_Concat (you already do this for accounting the left margin) ?

This is including teaching NetSurf layout code to take the text width
determined by the backend into account (as the fonts used in PDF output
do not necessarily have the same width as what the layout engine was
using) ?
