Huge PDF sizes and cosmetic anomalies using Glyph mode

  • Using wpTextAsGlyphs, for Chinese reports, our PDFS are increasing from 450KB to 7700KB, almost a factor of 16! Is there any way around this?

    We are also seeing cosmetic anomalies in the reports (see the two screen shots, below). Is this a known bug? Has it been fixed?


    In addition, below please find URLs for four PDF files. They are in pairs, one pair for Linearity, and one pair for Simple Precision (SP). Each PDF was generated either with Glyphs or without Glyphs. I have annotated each PDF to indicate the places where cosmetic defects can be seen. I wonder if the sizes (heights and widths) of the various strings are being computed incorrectly within the PDF Canvas, since the code to generate each does not change. Incorrect string heights and widths might explain the incorrect positioning of strings on the PDF Canvas:
