Nobody has managed it yet!

You are assuming that the text metrics and rendering of pygtk is the
same as in Acrobat Reader. It clearly isn't. You won't be able to fix
this yourself unless you mess with pygtk and discover all the options it
offers (I haven't a clue on that myself).

More generally, you would need a GUI which supported exactly the same
rendering model as ReportLab, and I don't know of one.
