Description

Fonts rendered in wrong size. The cause is related to wrong values in the /WIDTHS table and this code in PageDrawer:

            // stretch non-embedded glyph if it does not match the width contained in the PDF
            if (!font.isEmbedded())
            {
                float fontWidth = font.getWidthFromFont(code);
                if (fontWidth > 0 && // ignore spaces
                        Math.abs(fontWidth - displacement.getX() * 1000) > 0.0001)
                {
                    float pdfWidth = displacement.getX() * 1000;
                    at.scale(pdfWidth / fontWidth, 1);
                }
            }

I suspect that there must be another condition to skip the stretching, but I didn't find out which one.
