Hi,
In Flash, I have a block of text in an area of set width 100 pixels in font face Times New Roman. I'm using FOP to create a PDF of this same block of text in a table of the same width. I'd like the PDF to look exactly the same as it is displayed in Flash.

Although the result looks almost the same, there's enough subtle differences that means the text breaks on different words every now and then. That is, as the text reaches the end of the line in the width available, it breaks on different words in the PDF than it did in Flash.

I've embedded Times New Roman in FOP, so how can there be a difference in how the text is rendered, and is there any way to fix this?

Thanks,
Karl
