ColdFusion10 CFDocument Font scaling issue

Question

I'm generating a very basic PDF with header and footer like this:

<cfdocument format="PDF" pagetype="A4" unit="cm" scale="100">
<cfset template_stlye = fileRead(expandPath('love.css'))>

<cfdocumentitem type="header" evalatprint="true">
    <cfif cfdocument.currentpagenumber eq 1>
        <style type="text/css" media="screen">
            <cfoutput>
                    #template_stlye#
            </cfoutput>
        </style>
        <div class="pdf_header">
            <div class="header_text">
                I'm a lovely header
            </div>
        </div>
    </cfif>
</cfdocumentitem>

<cfdocumentitem type="footer" evalatprint="true">
    <cfif cfdocument.currentpagenumber eq 1>
        <style type="text/css" media="screen">
            <cfoutput>
                #template_stlye#
            </cfoutput>
        </style>
        <div class="pdf_footer">
            <div class="footer_text">
                I'm a lovely footer
            </div>
        </div>
    </cfif>
</cfdocumentitem>

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
    <cfoutput>
        #template_stlye#
    </cfoutput>
</style>
<div class="pdf_content">
    <h1>Foo bar</h1>
    <p>

    </p>
</div>
</cfdocument>

The CSS file:

.pdf_content {
    font-size: 11pt;
    font-family: Arial, Tahoma;
}
.header_text, .footer_text {
    font-size: 10pt;
    font-family: Arial, Tahoma;
    line-height: 9pt;
    text-align: center;
}
.pdf_header, .pdf_footer {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0.5cm;
    width: 18cm;
}

And I end up with the regular content in a wrong scale:

While it's supposed to look like this:

Any idea, why this is happening?

I'm working with:

• Windows 10, Version 1511, Build 10586.164
• Coldfusion 10.0.20.283922, Tomcat 7.0.68.0

Answer 1

After some debugging efforts and further comparison with a co-workers setup we found out that the included Java version is so old that it doesn't even know Windows 10.

Settings before:

After pointing ColdFusion the the most recent JDK it worked.

Settings after:

PS: "fun fact" when changing back to the included Java version the scaling issue wasn't reproducible anymore. wtf
