Hi all, I am using PDFBox 1.8.2 PDFTextStripper. I noticed that if the pdf file has Cambria font the height of the text position is completely wrong. It turns out that the height is exactly 4 times the actual height. I have attached the test pdf file I used and also find below the output from my program for each char in the pdf. Its a simple pdf which has the word cambria in different font sizes. I have tested with all other fonts and it gives me perfect height but why cambria fails ?
