getStringWidth calculates the width of a string incorrectly.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use any method that uses the private getStringWidth function (addCell, 
addMultiCell) to center or right align text.
2. See that alignment is off.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Alignment should be centered but is instead justified more to the left.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.4.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I have a fix for this problem.

On line 2927 of PDF.as change the following line from:

cwAux += cw[content.charAt(l)] as Number;

to

cwAux = cw[content.charAt(l)] as Number;

This seems to correct the issue.

I also would like to suggest making this method public to assist in manual 
alignment of strings.

Hi,

I have been trying to centre align the text in a MultiCell and it wont actually
centre correctly, it seems that the problem is that the text isnt wrapping 
correctly
and some text is actually outside the right of the multicell?

take a look at the attached PDF.

Great work on alivePDF!

It would still be nice if the method was public, hope that's in the pipeline. 
Thanks.
