I was poking around the code for string widths in PDFont.getStringWidth and etc.
It looks like to compute the width of a string it just adds up the widths of each individual character in the string: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/font/PDFont.java?revision=1750576&view=markup#l339 But the AFM files for the standard 14 fonts defines pairwise kerning adjustments, so e.g. "AV" takes less width than the normal width of "A" plus the normal width of "V": https://wwwimages2.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/font/pdfs/Core14_AFMs.zip Is there something I'm missing? Or does this just mean PDFont occasionally overestimates the width of text in those fonts?
