The problem is that you are using SVG fonts. That is every character that is drawn is converted into a set of curves. The real problem is that the viewer (eg. acrobat) cannot display these curves very well. If you print out the document (on a decent printer) you will see that the text appears how it should. There is a limited implementation that does not draw the text as curves (using normal pdf text instead) but it doesn't handle many things well. just put this in you config file: <entry> <key>strokeSVGText</key> <value>false</value> </entry> > What am I missing here ? > > Thanks in advance for any advice. > > Roger > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
