Proportional font text widths (Score:1)

by eric.t.f.bat (4721)

I have discovered a truly remarkable method of finding the width of text in proportional fonts in PDFs, which this comment field is too small to contain.

I can probably bundle up a general explanation and pass it on to the authors; is this worth doing, or is the problem already solved elsewhere?

  Interested Perl/PDF hackers want to know! Perhaps you could write it up as a node on Perl Monks [perlmonks.org].
