Is the width value for the bullet available in the PFM file? -- That's a good question :-) I haven't been able to find a spec for the PFM format. I used the pf2afm utility in ghostscript to create a .afm from the .pfm. This had an entry for bullet in the metrics list. I think the problem was that the encoding was set as font-specific - this agrees with the behaviour I saw when I debugged iText. I dug out the original .afm for the font and noted that the encoding was Adobe standard. When I changed my program to use the .afm instead of the .pfm the bullet width was non-zero. My problem is that I may have to deal with Type 1 fonts installed on other people's systems. In many cases all I'll have is the .pfm and .pfb in Windows\Fonts left by the MS Type 1 installer. Do I have to tell people that they need the original .afm files?
