Hi
I've many problems with the method text_width in PDF-writer. It doesn't
give the true values for text with UTF-8 characters.
(I used iconv to diplay this text.)
Any idea??
thanks

In my understanding, PDF::Writer does not fully support UTF-8
characters (despite some older documentation that suggests that it
does). There is a google group that maintains it, Doesn't look like
it's a feature that is going to be added any time soon either. Sorry
