We're using iText to render rich text to PDF on both Windows and Mac. To output
text we use PdfContentByte.createGraphicsShapes() and then standard Java
Graphics2D methods (same code draws on screen and during PDF export).

Here's a problem. We have a Type 1 font from high quality font set that looks
different on screen and on exported page. The difference is rather peculiar and
can be described as "round shapes become more like a diamond". Many if not all
gplyphs that have round portions are affected. I can e-mail and/or attach a
sample screenshot or PDF file.

Is this a known effect?

I suspect that we can fix this by implementing separate text drawing for PDF
export and avoiding Graphics2D code path altogether. Though time is rather
tight right now (isn't it always :) and we'd like to try less labor-intensive
options first.

What can we try to cure this?

Appreciate any suggestions,
--Andrey
