Strange border around letters in headings

[Jens Rutschmann]

Hi all,

I've run into a strange issue with a border rendered around the letters
of headings when the respective PDF page contains a div with a dashed
border. The border is not rendered around the heading box element but
actually around each character's outline.

This only happens when using a custom font.

I've attached a PDF file showing this as well as a zip file containing
the demo HTML and the font file (LiberationSans).

Has anyone ever experienced this?


Thanks,
Jens

Wow.  Pretty weird.  It might be an iText bug.  What version of iText are you using?  FS isn't doing anything different when it's a custom font.

Hi,

I'm using itext 2.1.7 so far due to licensing.

Now that you mentioned it I've also tried the itext5 branch with itext
5.3.0 and it gives the same result.

If I had to guess, I'd still lean towards an iText bug.  From the display, it's like iText is drawing the characters "manually" (i.e. as a path instead of characters), but then not closing the path and then the border is adding to it vs. creating a new path.  This isn't an entirely satisfactory explanation though either.  Either way, you'd have to dig into the page's content stream to see what's really going on.

Thanks for your input Pete.

I'll try to look into this later.
