Probably not. As I said, I noticed some deficiencies and I *think* I
have fixed them in that private branch, but I don''t have a good test
case at this point -- and I am desparately trying to get PDF::Writer
1.1.4 out in my non-existent spare time.

Which patch is this? If a patch, bug, or support request isn''t
assigned to me, I don''t generally see it for days or even weeks
because I forget to look. I should see if I can make RubyForge
auto-assign things to me.

That said, I have not yet seen your patch and will be reviewing it for
possible inclusion into PDF::Writer 1.1.4; if it doesn''t make it into
that, it will be in 1.2.0 because 1.2.0 is going to contain a lot of
font fixes.
