Reopen PDFBOX-483?

[steve poling <sd...@i2k.com>]

Andreas, I am using the trunk version (like before). And I have 
commented out the W/W* lines from the PageDrawer.properties file (like 
before). But I am seeing the same phenomena observed for PDFBOX-483.

I am doing things a little diferently. I am running PrintPDF.java, and I 
have made a kludged hack to get past the PDFBOX-490 issue, but when I 
print, I get just the form's lines and the AcroField text like before. 
I've stepped through the code at PDFTrueTypeFont.java where my kludge 
occurs and nobody's throwing exceptions or anything. (I temporarily 
hard-coded a stream from the TTF file in place of the embedded stream.)

I recall that when we opened PDFBOX-490, I had commented out W/W* and I 
was getting some text, just the wrong typeface. Where should I look to 
see whether the clipping or whatnot responsible for the text going away 
when printed. I first saw this a while back, and text was rendering OK 
to the screen, just not the HP LaserJet.

smiles and cheers,

steve
