Description

PDFs do not support automatic text wrapping. It would be useful to provide this feature, as manually wrapping text is error prone and tedious.

To do this we would need to know the widths of all the characters in the specified font.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the PDF text-rendering and font-handling code, then determine how character widths can be obtained for the specified font. Done means PDFs wrap text automatically without requiring manual line breaks.
