as the PoDoFo method PdfPainter::DrawMultilineText() supports only left- and 
right-
aligned  as well as centered text drawing, PdfFontMetrics::StringWidth() can be
used (get the font metrics from a font by PdfFont::GetFontMetrics()) to have the
width of a string calculated (be wary of those overloads taking const char*, the
encoding they expect is undocumented). However, this method mostly just sums up
the widths of the characters, only processing spaces as special, so kerning of 
character pairs/triplets is not taken into account. I hope this helps you 
enough.

[Podofo-users] Justify text

[Luis Otavio]

Since PoDoFo seems to lack the ability to print multi line text into the
Justified format, and I am a newbie on PoDoFo

Id like the help of you guys to get a few information

my idea is to get the length of each word and process it in a loop printing
word by word, the idea is to also store in the string the
commands to apply bold italic and underline before and after the characters
once a character is near the end of the line it will write the
'-' and start a new line ill need to adjust the space of the space between
words only on the last character if necessary.
My questions are:
How do I get the length of a word in PDF units, or do i need to do it Glyph
by glyph?
Is there a better way to do that?
