Hi,

This is a bit tricky to answer because the pt size doesn't mean much... there are other parameters that influence what you see on the screen. What you need is TextPosition.getTextMatrix(). Even then, the font size of a type3 font has its own logic, some are 1/1000 and some are not. CapHeight may or may not be correct. The best would be you'd share the PDF (upload to sharehoster).

Hi,

I am working on parsing pdf documents and need to get a real font size. The
document I am working with seems to define a different type 3 font for
different sized text on the page. All the font size is set to 0.24. I am
trying to use the TextPosition Class to get a real FontSize in Pt for the
font. The Font descriptor is set to null, however is available for some
pieces of text written in Arial. I have tried using CapHeight in those
cases, but ran into an issue where there is a ton of white space above and
below the text that is being captured by the cap height. I was hoping
someone knew a way to get the real font size of the text, as I am at a
complete loss.

Thanks,

Ernest
