Hello,
I have some code that has worked for a long time... on new server we instal=
led exact same version of PDF::API2 as on old server.

That version is 0.49 because we could not get the latest version to work...=
 it would not generate the pdf at all due to the issue with Compress which =
we could not figure out.


ANyway all calls to ->paragraph result in blank space in the PDF.=20=20

I was searching old posts but could not find anything other than that is a =
developer method within API2... are there any other dependencies?

I'm using these fonts.

	$headerfont =3D $pdf->corefont( "Helvetica-Bold", -encode=3D>"latin1");=20
	$font =3D $pdf->corefont( "Helvetica", -encode=3D>"latin1");=20
	$italicfont =3D $pdf->corefont( "Helvetica-Oblique", -encode=3D>"latin1");=
=20

Could it be those fonts are not installed?  If so I would think the rest of=
 the pdf would not show up... but it does...

Any ideas how to debug this?  I don't get an error generating the PDF just =
a bunch of blank space.

and I am passing a Height to the paragraph call.

-TIm
