I just downloaded the latest version of iText and
a patch has been added to PdfGraphics2D since my last version.
It is in the drawString method, line 431 and attempts to simulate a bold
font.
This new patch does not check to see if the current color has transparency
and so renders in full color no matter what.
Below is another patch for the same section that fixes this:
if (strokeWidth != 1) {
if(realPaint instanceof Color){
cb.setTextRenderingMode(PdfContentByte.TEXT_RENDER_MODE_FILL_STROKE);
cb.setLineWidth(strokeWidth);
Color color = (Color)realPaint;
int alpha = color.getAlpha();
if (alpha != currentStrokeGState) {
currentStrokeGState = alpha;
PdfGState gs = strokeGState[alpha];
if (gs == null) {
gs = new PdfGState();
gs.setStrokeOpacity(alpha / 255f);
strokeGState[alpha] = gs;
}
cb.setGState(gs);
}
cb.setColorStroke(color);
restoreTextRenderingMode = true;
}
}
If there is a better / safer way to accomplish this, please let me know and
I will update
my branch.
