Description

Render any text using defaults in the awt and switch debug mode on. Unwanted
blank space is systematicaly found on the right side of the text block. This
causes problems when using inlines because unwanted space is found between the
end of the "uninlined" text and the start of the "inlined" text.

For example:
<block>Normal text having no problem but<inline> abnormal space is to be found
between "but" and "abnormal"</inline></block>

Another nagging manifestation of this bug is found in "end aligned" blocks. One
would expect to have the rightmost character of the "end aligned" block to be
just at the left of the rightmost limit of the block but again, an unwanted
space appears at the right of the block causing the text to end at the left of
where it should.

This problem is not present if rendering PDF but it is when rendering with -awt
-print or -tiff options.
