As I said, I''m willing to test things, I have a billing app making pdf

invoices so that people can''t change them, and also add the possibility
to
add a user password to them.

Well, next time, I''ll assign it to you :-)

| font fixes.

well, a good part of the changes I''ve made were things I stumbled upon
because things did not work as they should :-)
Now, wether they go in 1.1.4 or 1.2.0 is not really important for me :-)
