Great, I'll take a look into it. It is high priority for me. As is the 
text width function (for right/center alignment support).

If there is a possibility to render text with custom TTF font in Lazarus 
(I found easylazfreetype, but I couldn't make it work with my first 
attempts), I think I'll develop a TPDFDocument->TCanvas renderer for 
previewing created PDF documents.
