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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
