Hi Howard,
Interesting.. I've just tried this and can confirm your findings.
What I think your seeing is the natural space that is built around the font,
this is usually more pronounced in the verticle padding than the horizontal.

Anyone know if it's possible to print the content of a revBrowser instance

I see the dictionary reference to open printing to PDF but this seems to

to programmatically send revBrowser content to a PDF?
I expect you're running up against UTF8 characters in your html (just
like the thread Japanese characters in HTML result). What's the
encoding of the page?
