Margins not respected with tiny parts of glyphs located in margin #163

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

When submitting my PDF files to Createspace I set my page margins to the minimum size of 0.25". However, wherever Italicized text touched a right hand margin a small part of certain characters encroached on the margin. This caused my Createspace submission to fail.

For a quick solution I may increase my margins a bit or remove the italic text. Hopefully a better solution can be found in the Speedata software.

Actually I see now that it may be any text. So I don't know if this is possible to fix in Speedata, but I see that in order to avoid encroaching on the 0.25" margin I must set the margin a bit wider.

I'd need a sample page to be able to verify this. Could you provide one?

Perhaps this is related to italic text? 

<Layout xmlns:sd="urn:speedata:2009/publisher/functions/en"
  xmlns="urn:speedata.de:2009/publisher/en" >

  <Trace grid="yes"/>
  <Record element="data">
    <PlaceObject>
      <Textblock textformat="right">
        <Paragraph><I><Value>f</Value></I></Paragraph>
      </Textblock>
    </PlaceObject>

  </Record>
</Layout>

The f's bounding box is smaller than its "ink width" and similar for italic g for the left margin.

I don't think there is much that I can do because it is a property of the font and I can't look inside the font.

Patrick,

In the example I sited yes perhaps.

However, I have other examples related to other non-latin characters as well that effect right, left, and top. I didn't see the problem on the bottom.

Perhaps the problem cannot be fixed and one just needs to adjust the margin accordingly. I was able to solve my problem by expanding the margin, so something to be aware of and perhaps document for future uses of Speedata.

I think I cannot solve this.
