Painting text to PDF results in strange spacing for specific pointsizes

When painting text to a PDF and subsequently printing the PDF, spacing for individual letters seems to beocme abnormally close with certain point sizes.

See attached code.

The attached code also somehow ignores the pointsize initially included in the font string, instead printing out with pointsize 8.

If using printFont.setPointSize(); after printFont is created, the pointsize provided is properly reflected.

Pointsizes of 6 and 8 have the problematic spacing, while 7 and 9 result in correct spacing.
