PdfBoxGraphics2DFontTextDrawer.getFontMetrics always floors the width about pdfbox-graphics2d HOT 3 CLOSED

I made a simple test case for this. As documented on the stringWidth() method, this is always off. I.e. the sum of all single char widths will never be the width of the complete string.

This is how it looks like without the rounding like FontDesignMetrics:

And this is how it looks like with the rounding:

You can see that the first case underestimates the string width, the second ("fixed") version overestimates the stringWidth.

So relying on this is broken in any way. But with this "fix" it is now broken the same way as in the JDK. So its now more consistent.

I just release version 0.37 with this fix.
