When creating the PDF, how are you outputting the fonts?  You might want to try "Stroke All Fonts" or this third option (if you have it enabled in your config.pro.)

Thank you.

Now the alignment is ok but the font thickness don't follow the pen table settings.

There is some errors in my pen table file?

pen 1 thickness 0.025 cm; drawing_color;

pen 2 thickness 0.01 cm; half_tone_color;

pen 3 thickness 0.015 cm; letter_color;

pen 4 thickness 0.015 cm; datum_color;

You can't have it both ways.  Use TrueType fonts will output the font as designed - the pen table file has no impact.  Stroke All Fonts will do just that, stroke all of the fonts, including the TrueType fonts.  The amount of thickness added to the stroking will follow the pen table values.

Ok. Thank you very much Tom!
