It would be interesting to see how iText's Pfm2afm converter deals with your PFM files: http://1t3xt.com/downloads/source/index.php?page=code&id=271 That's the class used by iText internally to convert your PFM file to an AFM file, but you can also use its static methods from another program. I suggest that you do the following: Convert the AFM to a PFM using the tool you've been using. Convert that PFM to an AFM using iText's Pfm2afm. Compare both AFM files: what are the differences? Post your findings on this list. Based on what you are telling (bullet OK with original AFM; not OK with derived PFM), I think some information will be missing in the iText generated AFM. If we can debug Pfm2afm.java so that the info about the bullet is present in the iText generated AFM, your problem should be solved. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
