i've had to create complex pdf documents with different styled text. a
text could be in text box, e.g. 100x100 points. the single words in this
fictive textbox could have:
- different character spacings
- different leadings
- different fonts
- different angles
- different baseline offsets
- different font sizes
- different colors
- different alignments (first line left, second line right)
- the text should be hyphenated
- and many more
at the moment i work with a pdfptable with one cell (my fictive
textbox), but with this solution it isn't possible to set different
leadings or character spacings or other things.
i appreciate that i have to place word for word, maybe letter for letter
direct in the content byte, best in columntext.
but for this mission i have to know exacly the width and the heigth for
each specific word (letter), to made the justified alignment for example
manually by calculation the space between the words in the (hypenated)
line...
maybe a mission impossible....

Maybe you should explain us why do you need it. As far as iText is
concerned all the widths are consistent with what is reported and
printed.

Subject: [iText-questions] exact width of text
hello,
is there ANY way (maybe without iText) to get a more
exact width of a
text than the getWidthPoint()-method? or any possibility to get all
informations (em quadrat, exact width of any character of the
font) to
calculate the exact width manually?
the FontMetrics-Class from j2se is unfortunately not
exact as the
getWidthPoint()-method.
thanks for your answers.
best regards,
martin
