Hey there,
I did some digging and fixed my problem. The problem was that
RtfWriter uses Font.getFamilyname() all over the place, and the family
name of Arial Italic and Arial Bold is just plain Arial. So when being
written to the RTF, the name Arial was put into the font table and
being used. And because FontFactory assumes that the writer was doing
things properly, it just reports the full font name as Arial Italic
and sets the style to 0 (plain) so that Arial Italic doesn't get
italisized :).
The solution was a new method in Font called getFullName() (code
below), and to change every occurance of getFamilyname() in
RtfWriter.java to getFullName(). This works for me, perhaps someone
that is in charge of this sort of thing has a better solution.
Thanks,
Craig
/**
* Gets the full name as a String. If baseFont is null, then this
merely returns the value from
* getFamilyname().
*
* @return the full name
*/
public String getFullName() {
if( baseFont == null ) return getFamilyname();
String tmp = "unknown";
String[][] names = baseFont.getFullFontName();
for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
if ("0".equals(names[i][2])) {
return names[i][3];
}
if ("1033".equals(names[i][2])) {
tmp = names[i][3];
}
if ("".equals(names[i][2])) {
tmp = names[i][3];
}
}
return tmp;
}
