Absolute text glyph positioning and size on PDF page

Hi there,

 

I'm processing some old scans by vectorizing the best glyph for each character, converting this into a Type 3 font and then drawing the text on the page from the font.

 

The problem I'm having is how to position and size each glyph on the page individually and absolutely.

 

I want to ignore any features, boundaries, etc. of the font and position each glyph exactly where I want it, with x0,x1,y0,y1 page coordinates, with the glyph stetched to that exact size and position.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Alasdair
