That is would you should do:
> BaseFont helvetica = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA_BOLD,
> BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
But in this case the font will NOT BE EMBEDDED, because in class
baseFont, the embedded parameter is set to false for built-in fonts
and CJK fonts.
see line 334-335 of BaseFont.java:
334: if (isBuiltinFonts14 || isCJKFont)
335: embedded = false;
This is because iText doesn't have the data needed to embed these fonts.
YOU have to provide this data in the form of a path to a TTF file on
your system. For instance:
> BaseFont helvetica = BaseFont.createFont("C:\\winnt\\fonts\\helveticab.ttf",
> BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
(Remark: on my system I don't have a ttf-file for helvetica, so I should
look for a ttf on the net somewhere. Maybe this will also be the case
for you.)
kind regards,
Bruno
