RE: RE: Text Paragraph - sledge hammer averted

 
OK I fixed it.  The problem was either that the paragraph call has changed
somewhere between version machine #1 and latest version or the old version
was just lax in enforcement... My paragraph calls did not include a
specified available height.  This still works to this day just fine on
another machine, but adding the extra input fixed it.

For those searching the group archives in the future, study this sample
carefully:

 $txt->font($font,$fontsize);
    $txt->lead($lead);
    $txt->translate($x,$y);
    $overflow = $txt->paragraph( 'long paragraph here ...',
                                 $width,
                                 $y+$lead-$bottom_margin );

Thanks to everyone who tried to help... I do appreciate it.

Well, I'm just as stumped as you are. Have you tried a diff on the PDF
files? It might tell you something.
