I read in a tutorial where it says that is how you get a landscape format.
You say I want A4, but then rotate it by 90 degrees with the
PageSize.A4.rotate() function. But when using a bold font on this landscape
format the text is transparent. If you select it with the acrobat reader
text select tool there is something there, but it is white text on a white
background. If you use normal font the text shows up.

I read in a magazine that if my eyes were where my ears are, I'd have surround view. However, my eyes aren't where my ears are and I can only see what is in front of me. In front of me, I have an example with a rotated A4 page and a font that is bold. Please have a close look at the attachments. Is the bold text transparent, yes or no? If not, why are you posting a question on the mailing list without providing a standalone example that reproduces the problem AS I'VE BEEN ASKING YESTERDAY?
