[LINUX5250] AHPP in scs2pdf

[Frank Richter <frichter@xxxxxxxx>]

Function scs2pdf_ahpp in scs2pdf.c doesn't handle positioning right,
if *curpos is lower then position. Wenn you make a report with
HIGHLIGHT attribute, AHPP is used to position the cursor back to the
start of this field and overprint a second time, to get a bold output.

I found no easy way, to switch to and back from a bold font, but
the following patch should at least print the second string in the right
place:
