StyledText.Printing includes this extremely frustrating bit of hard-coded logic, starting at line 401: // one inch margin around text clientArea.x = dpi.x + trim.x; clientArea.y = dpi.y + trim.y; clientArea.width -= (clientArea.x + trim.width); clientArea.height -= (clientArea.y + trim.height); I was very surprised to see this sort of "magic number" logic in SWT. This should be configurable in the StyledTextPrintOptions with an intelligent default (1 inch, for backwards compatibility). Currently, there is no way to control the margins without forking half of the swt.custom package. Here's an example of the impact: I was planning to use StyledText to render text for printing on a label with a total size of 1.25" x 2.25". This bug makes it impractical.
