Commit 2ff29d1f499451c63ddb8b3cc152cb2eda4b5e33 I believe properly resolves
htis issue with pdfwrite.

I have checked the result visually against the Acrobat result, and I do so some
differences in the way the 'fake bold' is handled. This is done (badly) by
drawing the text three times in slightly different positions. It appears that
Acrobat has a heuristic for detecting this and turning it into a stroke+fill
text rendering mode instead.

Because of rounding errors we appear to have text which is slightly bolder than
the Acrobat output, but it is not mis-positioned.
