Description

Hello PDFBox team,

We are seeing issues in the thickness of fonts when we use PDBox to convert a PDF to an image. This is giving a bad user experience. The version we are using is 2.0.20 and it was also happening in the previous version 2.0.19. I have attached the original image and the converted image for your debugging purposes. Please take a look.

I am also attaching a license document which clearly states that these images are only for debugging purpose and you will delete this after viewing it. Thanks again.FontThickness__Original.pdf
