You're right :-( They really did a GREAT job *grrrr*

So I would consider to either return an instance of one of two distinct
classes (PHP >=4.3.10+ & PHP5 vs PHP <4.3.9) or to otherwise define
a FLOAT_TYPE constant (= $version_old ? 'f' : 'F') to be used in all the
sprintf strings.

Both are really ugly solutions - as too often with PHP :-(

I personally don't care about PHP < 4.3.10 as I'm fortunately doing most
of my work on 5.1.x - but you're absolutely right, File_PDF has to do
it's
work also for older PHP versions.

Do you consider one of my above suggestions viable?

Cheers,
