bug #13586

Hello there!

What do you think about http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13586?

Stefan asks us to use something like
float currentLetterSpacing = (float) 99999.99;

instead of

float currentLetterSpacing = Float.NaN

in PDFRenderer.java due to jre-1.3.1 for linux-alpha bug.
For me it looks too patchy. I suggest to resolve the bug as WONTFIX as anybody 
suffering from it able to make the modification in the code. It's only 1 line 
after all.

If you look in the pdf spec the initial value of Tc (character spacing)
is 0.
So you could use 0 if it properly handles the pdf graphics state by
setting it to the old value when leaving a state. I don't know how
possible it is to do that but even with a large number it still needs to
reset it when leave the state.
Since it is used only in small sections it may be unlikely to cause a
problem.

Anyway the MAX_VALUE should work okay.

I would use Float.MAX_VALUE instead of (float) 99999.99
